The goal of the present study was to evaluate the immobilization and retention of caffeine (CFN) in soil and the influence of biochar for the CFN transport in agricultural soil. The biochar was produced from the Ulva reticulata seaweed biomass (ULBC) under the slow-pyrolysis with a heating rate of 7 °C/min at 500 °C and characterized using XRD and FTIR. The CFN retention and transport abilities in loamy sand and ULBC amended (2.
