The contamination of soil with organic pollutants has been accelerated by agricultural and
industrial development and poses a major threat to global ecosystems and human health …

We synthesized 20 years of research to explain the interrelated processes that determine
soil and plant responses to biochar. The properties of biochar and its effects within …

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 …

Biochar, an environmentally friendly soil conditioner, is produced using several
thermochemical processes. It has unique characteristics like high surface area, porosity, and …

A sustainable management of environment and agriculture is crucial to protect soil, water,
and air during intensified agriculture practices as well as huge industrial and transportation …

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 …

Increasing global population and decreasing arable land pose tremendous pressures to
agricultural production. The application of conventional chemical fertilizers improves …

Over the last several decades, extensive and inefficient use of contemporary technologies
has resulted in substantial environmental pollution, predominantly caused by potentially …

Biochars provide several agricultural and environmental benefits, such as soil health
improvement, better crop growth and yield, carbon sequestration, decreasing greenhouse …

Biochar, characterized by high specific surface area and porosity as well as by the presence
of various functional groups, can be an excellent matrix for creating fertilizers that slowly …
