TL;DR: New research shows that biochar made from phosphate-poor feedstock encourages much more symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi, compared to biochar made from phosphate-rich feedstock, which encourages very little mycorrhizal symbiosis.

Very interesting and a strong hint that sustainable farming should try to enhance the natural composition of the earth. Phosphate fertilizer works but the mycorrhizial fungi will leave over time. This leads to earth where you have to use Phosphate to grow plants. I am allways facinated by the intricate relationships in nature.
