Combination of biochar with other soil amendments

Is anyone aware of projects that have combined biochar with other types of soil
amendment to improve farming in the drylands ?

I am thinking of examples like TerraCottem:

Perhaps there is a limit to the benefits, as there might be some overlap in the
properties of the materials, especially with regards to moisture retention.
Still, it’s worth checking out.
