Biogenic ASi increases water holding capacity and soil hydraulic conductivity of soils. Soil water potential as a function of the volumetric water content of sand mixed with different contents of bASi (a) and of a sandy clay loam (SCL) mixed with different contents of bASi (b). Soil hydraulic conductivity as a function of matric potential of sand mixed with different contents of bASi (c) and of a sandy clay loam (SCL) mixed with different contents of bASi (d), The dots are the measured retention curves and the lines (a,b) are the estimated retention curves based on retention curve of soil without ASi and retention curve of pure bASi.
