Biochar is obtained by pyrolyzing biomass and is, by definition, applied in a way that avoids
its rapid oxidation to CO2. Its use in agriculture includes animal feeding, manure treatment …

Climate extremes threaten human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural
and built environments (eg, 2003 European heat wave). As the world continues to warm …

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 …

Biochar is a carbon (C) rich product of thermochemical conversion of organic material that is
used as a soil amendment due to its resistance to decomposition and its influence on …

Soil mineral depletion is a major issue due mainly to soil erosion and nutrient leaching. The
addition of biochar is a solution because biochar has been shown to improve soil fertility, to …

Biochar can reduce both nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions and nitrate (NO 3−) leaching, but
refining biochar's use for estimating these types of losses remains elusive. For example …

Biochar, like most other adsorbents, is a carbonaceous material, which is formed from the
combustion of plant materials, in low-zero oxygen conditions and results in a material, which …

Background and aims Modern agriculture is driving the release of excessive amounts of
reactive nitrogen (N) from the soils to the environment, thereby threatening ecological …

Biochar is a carbon‐rich coproduct resulting from pyrolyzing biomass. When applied to the
soil it resists decomposition, effectively sequestering the applied carbon and mitigating …

In recent years, rapid increase in population growth, improper usage of synthetic fertilizers,
organic matter depletion, nutrient imbalance, and land degradation owing to several …
