Integrating biochar and compost into soils can enhance both carbon (C) sequestration and soil fertility. However, their combined effects on C mineralisation and priming in C-poor soils are not well understood. To address this gap, the authors conducted a 120-day laboratory incubation study. They applied biochar (2%) and compost (2%) individually and in combination (1% each) to a soil with low organic C content (0.12%).
