Amendment of soil with biochar has been widely investigated for soil quality improvement in
terms of biotic and abiotic functionalities. The performance of biochar-based amendment …

The beneficial role of biochar on improvement of soil quality, C sequestration, and
enhancing crop yield is widely reported. As such there is not much consolidated information …

Biochar, characterized by high specific surface area and porosity as well as by the presence
of various functional groups, can be an excellent matrix for creating fertilizers that slowly …

Biochar is a product of biomass thermochemical conversion. Its yield and quality vary
significantly with the production technology and process parameters, which also affect its …

In recent years, excessive amounts of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the environment
have seriously affected the environment and human health. Due to its high removal …

Biochar is a promising novel material for managing phosphorus (P), a nutrient often limiting
for primary production but can also be a pollutant, in the environment. Reducing P input to …

Recently, biochar has been widely used for versatile applications in agriculture and
environment sectors as an effective tool to minimise waste and to increase the efficiency of …

In this chapter, a biochar classifi cation system related to its use as a soil amendment is
proposed. This document builds upon previous work: Standardized product defi nition and …

Traditional fertilizers are highly inefficient, with a major loss of nutrients and associated
pollution. Alternatively, biochar loaded with phosphorous is a sustainable fertilizer that …

As a promising soil amendment, biochar has demonstrated its potential for influencing soil
nutrient transformations. The effects of biochar on soil phosphorus (P) transformations have …
