Abstract The ability of biochar to enhance the physical and hydrological properties of light textured soils is highly dependent on the characteristics of biochar including its particle size. To investigate the effect of biochar particle size on water characteristics and soil structure of a sandy loam soil, date palm biochar prepared at a pyrolysis temperature of 450–500 °C was fractioned by dry sieving into four sizes: 2–1, 1–0.5, 0.5–0.1, and
