Biochar due to its high K content may affect K forms and dynamics. The effect of biochars produced from licorice root pulp, municipal waste and cow manure at 300 °C and 600 °C on K forms, release and fixation in a loamy calcareous soil was investigated. The soil samples were analyzed after biochar application and incubation at field water-holding capacity or saturation conditions. The cow manure and municipal waste biochars increased all K forms, while licorice root pulp biochar only increased exchangeable K (10%). Cumulative K released to 0.01 M CaCl 2  for the control soil was 101 mg kg −1 , increasing to 108, 182 and 418 mg kg −1 , with the application of licorice root pulp, municipal waste and cow manure biochars produced at 300 °C, and increased to 112, 200 and 486 mg kg −1  with the application of the biochars produced at 600 °C, respectively. Generally, 0.025 M CaCl 2  extracted more K than 0.01 M CaCl 2  (means of 250 vs. 230 mg kg −1 ). Saturation had a smaller effect on K forms and dynamics; increasing non-exchangeable K. Biochar increased soil K fixation. Biochar depending on its origin and pyrolysis conditions may be used as an amendment for increasing K supplying power of calcareous soils.
