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 …

Various studies have established that feedstock choice, pyrolysis temperature, and pyrolysis
type influence final biochar physicochemical characteristics. However, overarching analyses …

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

The biochar is a solid carbon-rich, porous material produced by the thermochemical
conversion of a diverse range of biomass feedstocks under an inert atmosphere (ie, in the …

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 …

The use of biochar is changing, and the combined application of biochar with fertilizer is
increasingly gaining acceptance. However, the yield gains results reported in the existing …

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 …

Numerous harmful chemicals are introduced every year in the environment through
anthropogenic and geological activities raising global concerns of their ecotoxicological …
