Biochar properties can be significantly influenced by feedstock source and pyrolysis
conditions; this warrants detailed characterisation of biochars for their application to improve …

Biochar has potential to sequester carbon in soils and simultaneously improve soil quality
and plant growth. More understanding of biochar variation is needed to optimise these …

The characterization of biochar has been predominantly focused around determining
physicochemical properties including chemical composition, porosity and volatile content …

Biochar produced from a wide range of organic materials by pyrolysis has been reported as
a means to improve soil physical properties, fertility and crop productivity. However, there is …

Biochar research has focused in the last years in the use of wood or grass derived materials
for carbon sequestration. However, manure derived biochar can provide other benefits after …

Purpose Biochars have been considered as useful soil amendments due to their beneficial
properties in improving soil fertility, carbon (C) sequestration, and soil decontamination. In …

One factor limiting the understanding and evaluation of biochar for soil amendment and
carbon sequestration applications is the scarcity of long-term, large-scale field studies …

The amendment of two agricultural soils with two biochars derived from the slow pyrolysis of
papermill waste was assessed in a glasshouse study. Characterisation of both biochars …

Renewing carbon and re-establishing it again in the soil is one of the valuable means to
cope with climate change. There are many technologies for carbon apprehension and …

Background and aims Biochar has demonstrably improved crop yields in weathered and
acidic soils, but studies in calcareous soils are particularly lacking, so biochar effects on …
