Agricultural intensification often contributes to soil degradation. Mulch and biochar help reduce erosion runoff while improving organic matter crop habitat. However, optimal application strategies the combined advantages of mulch remain underexplored. This study aimed evaluate how affect hydrology, erosion, phytotoxicity, under mixed layered strategies: (i) mix (2.8% by weight); (ii) layer (surface 10 Mg ha−1); (iii) (2 ha−1 straw mulch); (iv) + (a 2 on top a ha−1). Thirty-minute rainfall simulations (at 85.6 mm h−1) sandy loam soils vineyard olive orchard tested treatment effects hydrology erosion. The leachate collected from was used test treatments using Lactuca sativa L. Runoff interrill decreased 52–91% 55–81%, respectively, with greatest reductions in that included layer. Biochar increased root length (29–45%), had no significant effect. performed best, highlighting products’ complementary benefits reducing degradation
