  abstract = {{B}iochar is a potential tool to mitigate climate change by enhancing {C} sequestration in soils, but its use as a soil amendment to improve soil fertility and crop yields is still a contentious subject. {I}n {N}orth {E}ast ({NE}) {T}hailand, biochar has been promoted to restore soil fertility in rubber tree plantations. {D}espite this, there is scarce information on the impact of biochar application on the soil biota, particularly on microbial communities associated with rubber trees. {T}he effects of increasing doses of biochar on microbial communities were investigated in a rubber tree plantation in {NE} {T}hailand, 28 months after application. {B}iochar application resulted in increases of soil p{H} and nutrient contents and also had an impact on both bacterial and fungal communities. {C}hanges in microbial composition and structure were observed although fungal communities were more markedly affected than bacterial communities. {T}he nature and magnitude of the observed changes were strongly related to soil properties (p{H}, soil moisture and {P} content), while biochar dose (5, 10 or 20 tons/ha) effect was not significant. {O}ur results highlight the need for additional research for a better understanding of the impact of biochar application on soil microbial communities and further cascading effects on ecosystem functions.},
