Biochar applications have been shown to increase crop yields on acidic and low activity
soils in the tropics but fewer positive yield responses have been reported for temperate soils …

Adding biochar to tropical soils is a strategy for improving crop yield and mitigating climate
change, but how various biochar types affect crop yield and the properties of temperate soils …

It remains unclear whether biochar applications to calcareous soils can improve soil fertility
and crop yield. A long-term field experiment was established in 2009 so as to determine the …

Biochar (BC) application as a soil amendment has aroused much interest and was found to
considerably improve soil nutrient status and crop yields on poor, tropical soils. However …

Applying biochar to soil is thought to have multiple benefits, from helping mitigate climate
change [1, 2], to managing waste [3] to conserving soil [4]. Biochar is also widely assumed to …

This study determines the impact of biochar, as a supplement, on soil nutrient availability
and yields for three crops within commercial management systems in a temperate …

Declining soil quality is commonplace throughout Southern Asia and sustainable strategies
are required to reverse this trend to ensure food security for future generations. One …

Our contemporary society is struggling with soil degradation due to overuse and climate
change. PreColumbian people left behind sustainably fertile soils rich in organic matter and …

Natural organic biomass burning creates black carbon which forms a considerable
proportion of the soil's organic carbon. Due to black carbon's aromatic structure it is …

While many laboratory studies have focused on the short term effects of biochar addition to
soil), there have been comparatively few tracing its longer term effects in the field. This study …
