Agricultural activities and soils release greenhouse gases, and additional emissions occur
in the conversion of land from other uses. Unlike natural lands, active management offers …

This paper provides an updated review on the subjects, the available alternative to produce
biochar from biomass, quantification and characterization of biochar, the adsorptive capacity …

Biochar is the charred by-product of biomass pyrolysis, the heating of plant-derived material
in the absence of oxygen in order to capture combustible gases. The objective of this report …

The ability of engineered black carbons (or biochars) to resist abiotic and, or biotic
degradation (herein referred to as recalcitrance) is crucial to their successful deployment as …

Thermal analysis techniques have long been used in the study of soils, particularly in clay
mineralogy. While there exists a large volume of literature (including several books) on the …

Different analytical techniques were used to find the most reliable and economic method for
determining the labile fraction of C in biochar. Biochar was produced from pine, poplar and …

Here, a degraded soil, located in a semi-arid Mediterranean region, was characterized 17
years after organic amendment with sludge or compost (differing in their stabilization …

Biochar is derived from the oxygen-restricted pyrolysis of biomass and is characterized as
being biologically stable and having high porosity. Adding biochar to soil is a widely …

Minerals stabilize organic carbon (OC) in sediments, thereby directly affecting global climate
at multiple scales, but how they do it is far from understood. Here we show that manganese …
