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 …

Soil microbial communities are responsive to biochar amendments. As the residence time of
biochar in soil is expected to be hundreds to thousands of years, the changes in microbial …

Biochar is a stable carbon-rich by-product synthesized through pyrolysis/carbonization of
plant-and animal-based biomass. An increasing interest in the beneficial application of …

Purpose Biochar, the by-product of thermal decomposition of organic materials in an oxygen-
limited environment, is increasingly being investigated due to its potential benefits for soil …

The impact of biochar (BC) application on soil varies with BC feedstock and soil type. The
objective of this study was to investigate the linkage between the properties and surface …

Eutrophication of natural water is a universal problem. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from
agricultural runoff are the main sources of nutrient input, provided that emissions from …

Conversion of crop residues into biochars (BCs) via pyrolysis is beneficial to environment
compared to their direct combustion in agricultural field. Biochars developed from soybean …

This review summarizes the influences of pyrolysis conditions and feedstock types on
biochar properties and how biochar properties in turn affect soil properties. Mechanistic …

Biochar is a carbon-rich by-product of the thermal conversion of organic feedstocks and is
primarily used as a soil amendment. Identification and quantification of biochar properties …

Biochar has been of considerable importance for various environmental applications in
recent years. It has exhibited substantial advantages like favourable structural and surface …
