This study investigated whether the addition of hardwood biochar alters the mineralization of C-14-labeled atrazine in two atrazine-adapted soils from Belgium and Brazil at different moisture regimens. Biochar addition resulted in an equally high or even in a significantly higher atrazine mineralization compared to the soils without biochar. Statistical analysis revealed that the extent of atrazine mineralization was more influenced by the specific soil than by the addition of biochar. It was concluded that biochar amendment up to 5% by weight does not negatively affect the mineralization of atrazine by an atrazine-adapted soil microflora. specialized biochar pesticides microbial adaptation BRESIL BELGIQUE 068 076 074 61 3 512-516 2013 0021-8561 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010058968 10.1021/jf303957a 0021-8561 [F B010058968] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010058968 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2013/03/010058968.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2013-04-02 2017-08-23 fdi:010058968 fre
