Biochar has exhibited many potential agricultural benefits, such as plant growth promotion effects, increased soil water retention and neutralisation of acidic soil pH. Its impact on microbial-mediated macronutrient bio-availability, however, is largely unknown. This is particularly the case with sulfur (S) and phosphorous (P). Plants rely on microorganisms to mineralize organic and inorganically bonded S and P for their metabolic requirements. The results presented herein suggest that increased numbers of S and P mobilising bacterial colonizers in biochar amended soil could be beneficial for plant growth through enhanced nutrient mobilisation.…mehr

Autorenporträt
I studied Natural Sciences in Trinity College Dublin from 2007-2011 specializing in microbiology. From their I completed a research masters (soil microbiology) in the University of Limerick (2011-2013). I am currently a Teagasc Walsh Fellow studying towards a PhD degree. My research interest is primarily the soil microbiome of agroecosystems.
