Abstract: The purpose was to study the effects of biochar on heavy metal contaminated soil and its mechanism. The properties of biochar and the interactions of biochar, heavy metals and microorganism were summarized. The stress effects of heavy metal and the corresponding beneficial protective effects of biochar on soil microorganism were introduced from three aspects of soil microbial biomass, activity, and community structure and diversity. And the effects of biochar on soil microbial community structure and diversity were emphatically analyzed. Finally, the authors made an outlook on the future research in this field, so as to provide a perspective of micro ecology for the future scientific application of biochar in the heavy metal contaminated soil.
