Oil mallee biochar improves soil structural properties—A study with x-ray micro-CT

•An oil mallee (OM) biochar modified structure in a Ferralsol and a Vertisol.•An OM biochar had little influence on structure of an Arenosol.•A Ferralsol showed temporal increase in μ-CT porosity with OM biochar content.•An OM biochar improved drainage and reduced water filled pore space in a Vertis...
