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 …

Among a wide range of possible applications of nanotechnology in agriculture, there has
been a particular interest in develo** novel nanoagrochemicals. While some concerns …

Biochars have attracted tremendous attention due to their effects on soil improvement; they
enhance carbon storage, soil fertility and quality, and contaminant (organic and heavy …

Biochar is the product of heating biomass in the absence of or with limited air to above
250ºC, a process called charring or pyrolysis also used for making charcoal (Chapter 3). The …

Biochar has been widely used as an environmentally friendly material for soil improvement
and remediation, water pollution control, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and other …

As a multi-beneficial amendment, biochar is reasonable and reliable to be employed as an
amendment to implement soil remediation. An overview on the manufacture, applications for …

Biochar is widely recognized as an efficient tool for carbon sequestration and soil fertility.
The understanding of its chemical and physical properties, which are strongly related to the …

Amending soil with biochar (pyrolized biomass) is suggested as a globally applicable
approach to address climate change and soil degradation by carbon sequestration …

The interaction between biochar and soil changes nitrogen (N) dynamics in different
ecosystems. Although multiple studies have reported influences of biochar on soil inorganic …
