Because the soil chemistry, agriculture, microbiology people recommends biochar application (5 to max 30 ton/ha) whereas soil physics, geotech people uses 5%, 10% by weight of biochar (nearly if convert almost 100-200 ton/ha) to see the effect in hydraulic conductivity, water retention, strength etc. But if such high doses applied then plant wont survive. Therefore in terms of biochar application are soil physics/ mechanics and soil chemistry/ microbiology contradicts?
