Wheat Straw-Derived Biocharâ??s Impact on Soil Microbial Communities Under Phenanthrene Stress

Abstract

José Pérez*

The contamination of soil with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as phenanthrene poses significant challenges to soil health, agricultural productivity, and environmental sustainability. Phenanthrene, a widely distributed PAH, is toxic to soil microorganisms and can disrupt the balance of microbial communities, essential for maintaining soil fertility and ecological health.
