To explore the stabilization effect of livestock manure biochar on Cd-contaminated soil and its impact on the soil environment, a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the stabilization efficiency of cattle manure-biochar (BC) and thiol-modified biochar (SBC) on Cd in soil and their effect on the soil properties and microbial community. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the effect pathways of BC and SBC on the soil microbial community. The results showed that BC and SBC increased soil pH, available potassium, available phosphorus, and organic matter content but decreased soil available nitrogen content compared with those in CK.
