Biochar is increasingly recognized for its ability to enhance hydro-physical properties of soil, offering promising solutions for improving soil structure, water retention, and overall agricultural productivity. In this study, sandy loam soil was amended at different rates (0, 15, 30, and 60 t ha-1 ) of biochar produced from olive pomace (Jift) at different pyrolysis temperatures (300, 400, 500, and 600 °C), and incubated for 30, 60, and 90 days. The biochar-amended soils were collected for analysis after each incubation period for infiltration rate, aggregate stability, soil water retention, water repellency, and penetration resistance...
