Climate change mitigation not only requires reductions of greenhouse gas emissions, but
also withdrawal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Here we review the …

Forest fires are key ecosystem modifiers affecting the biological, chemical, and physical
attributes of forest soils. The extent of soil disturbance by fire is largely dependent on fire …

Excessive land use has a series consequences on the degradation of land function and
exerts tremendous pressure on the ecological environment. Farming, mining, and heavy …

Various studies have established that feedstock choice, pyrolysis temperature, and pyrolysis
type influence final biochar physicochemical characteristics. However, overarching analyses …

Wildfires act as important ecosystem controls and can benefit fire-adapted biomes by
promoting habitat heterogeneity, seed germination and disease control. However, the …

Rapid industrial development and human activities have caused a degradation of soil
quality and fertility. There is increasing interest in rehabilitating low fertility soils to improve …

Fire has always been a driving factor of life on Earth. Now that mankind has definitely joined
the other environmental forces in sha** the planet, lots of species are threatened by …

One paradigm in biogeochemistry is that frequent disturbance tends to deplete carbon (C) in
soil organic matter (SOM) by reducing biomass inputs and promoting losses. However …

Pyrolysis is one of the most promising technologies for the conversion of biomass into high-
value products such as bio-oil, syngas, and biochar in the absence of oxygen. High yield …

The exchange of nutrients, energy and carbon between soil organic matter, the soil
environment, aquatic systems and the atmosphere is important for agricultural productivity …
