Personally I think rice husk biochar (often alkaline) could be used on acidic Acrisols (upland areas) , sandy soils, basaltic soils in high-terraced areas (also acidic), acid suphate soils (coastal areas; under mangroves) ?
in acid soils we can use as amendment to increase the soil pH and also in sandy soils as soil conditioner to increase nutrient and water retention capacity.
