Rice paddies supply half the global population with staple food, but also account for~ 48% of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from croplands. In this Review, we outline the …

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 …

It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

Biochar is produced as a charred material with high surface area and abundant functional
groups by pyrolysis, which refers to the process of thermochemical decomposition of organic …

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 …

Rising global temperature, pollution load, and energy crises are serious problems, recently
facing the world. Scientists around the world are ambitious to find eco-friendly and cost …

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

As a promising amendment, biochar has excellent characteristics and can be used as a
remediation agent for diverse types of soil pollution. Biochar is mostly made from agricultural …

Biochar has recently proven to be effective in various applications including soil amendment
for crop production and removal of pollutants from the contaminated water and soil …

Biochar, a carbon (C)-rich material obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass
under oxygen-limited environments, has been proposed as one of the most promising …
