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 (BC) properties and its influences within agricultural soil health and environmental
ecosystems largely depend on feedstock, residence time and pyrolysis conditions. The …

The carbon sequestration potential of biochar depends on its stability in the soil and its
priming effect on native soil organic carbon mineralization, which could be expected to be in …

To respect the Paris agreement targeting a limitation of global warming below 2° C by 2100,
and possibly below 1.5° C, drastic reductions of greenhouse gas emissions are mandatory …

The unpredictable climatic perturbations, the expanding industrial and mining sectors,
excessive agrochemicals, greater reliance on wastewater usage in cultivation, and landfill …

The soil carbon (C) saturation concept suggests an upper limit to the storage of soil organic
carbon (SOC). It is set by the mechanisms that protect soil organic matter from …

Stabilizing the global climate within safe bounds will require greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions to reach net zero within a few decades. Achieving this is expected to require …

Biochar is the carbon-rich product of the pyrolysis of biomass under oxygen-limited
conditions, and it has received increasing attention due to its multiple functions in the fields …

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 application has been widely recommended as a potential solution to tackle the
challenges of food security and climate change in agroecosystems, but the effect sizes of …
