Viticulture is a key sector of the agricultural economy of the main wine-producing countries,
eg Italy, France, Spain and the USA, but is also one of the main users of phytosanitary …

The aim of this work was to analyse the influence of the pyrolysis temperature and feedstock
composition on biochar yield and physicochemical properties. The raw materials to be …

Soil contamination by Pb can result from different anthropogenic sources such as lead-
based paints, gasoline, pesticides, coal burning, mining, among others. This work aimed to …

BACKGROUND Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Xag) is a hazardous pathogen able
to cause bacterial pustule disease in soybean, reducing crop yield and quality. Although …

High severity wildfires cause a drastic alteration of soil carbon cycling–both oxidising and
thermally altering soil organic matter (SOM)-and usually are followed by strong runoff and …

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of biochar on the composting
process of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) under real conditions …

Biochar is the solid by-product of biomass thermochemical conversion via pyrolysis
technique. Biochar addition to croplands as an organic amendment can improve soil …

Despite the increasing interest for biochar as a soil amendment, a knowledge gap remains
on its impacts on non-target soil and aquatic species. We hypothesised that biochar particle …

Biochar addition to compost is of growing interest as soil amendment. However, little is
known about the evolution of material properties of biochar-compost mixtures and their effect …

The soil surface albedo decreases with an increasing biochar application rate as a power
decay function, but the net impact of biochar application on soil temperature dynamics …
