    Schematic representation of a soil sample in cryotic conditions. The Sihvola multiphase mix model can be adapted to represent the soil sample in an environment of liquid water in which the other phases exist. Note that while ice and air phases are not depicted as round for ease of visualization, they are mathematically represented as such. Image courtesy of Quentin ''Quinn'' Sapin, Queen's University.

    The instrumentation of unfrozen water content: Considering the importance of conversion curves

    Conceptual model showing how different biochars affect water loss. High-temperature red river gum particles create fast water flow paths that increase early evaporation. High-temperature black wattle particles pull out more water vapor later. Low-temperature black wattle helps block water movement and conserves soil moisture. Image courtesy of Roeline van Schalkwyk and Ailsa G. Hardie, Stellenbosch University.

    Biochar type choice matters for limiting evaporation

    Representative corn plants grown under low (left) and high (right) soil-test potassium (K) conditions in a 41-year field trial on a Coastal Plain sandy loam soil in North Carolina. Despite contrasting long-term soil K management, plants exhibited similar overall growth, illustrating the limited visual response observed under conditions where K-bearing minerals continued to supply K.

    Soil potassium forms may help to sustain crops and reduce the need for fertilizer
