      abstract     = {Biochar applications to soils can improve soil fertility by
                      increasing the soil’s cation exchange capacity (CEC) and
                      nutrient retention. Because biochar amendment may occur with
                      the applications of organic fertilizers, we tested to which
                      extent composting with farmyard manure increases CEC and
                      nutrient content of charcoal and gasification coke. Both
                      types of biochar absorbed leachate generated during the
                      composting process. As a result, the moisture content of
                      gasification coke increased from 0.02 to 0.94 g g−1, and
                      that of charcoal increased from 0.03 to 0.52 g g−1. With
                      the leachate, the chars absorbed organic matter and
                      nutrients, increasing contents of water-extractable organic
                      carbon (gasification coke: from 0.09 to 7.00 g kg−1;
                      charcoal: from 0.03 to 3.52 g kg−1), total soluble
                      nitrogen (gasification coke: from not detected to 705.5 mg
                      kg−1; charcoal: from 3.2 to 377.2 mg kg−1),
                      plant-available phosphorus (gasification coke: from 351 to
                      635 mg kg−1; charcoal: from 44 to 190 mg kg−1), and
                      plant-available potassium (gasification coke: from 6.0 to
                      15.3 g kg−1; charcoal: from 0.6 to 8.5 g kg−1). The
                      potential CEC increased from 22.4 to 88.6 mmolc kg−1 for
                      the gasification coke and from 20.8 to 39.0 mmolc kg−1 for
                      the charcoal. There were little if any changes in the
                      contents and patterns of benzene polycarboxylic acids of the
                      biochars, suggesting that degradation of black carbon during
                      the composting process was negligible. The surface area of
                      the biochars declined during the composting process due to
                      the clogging of micropores by sorbed compost-derived
                      materials. Interactions with composting substrate thus
                      enhance the nutrient loads but alter the surface properties
                      of biochars.},
