Problem soils are referred to as those with poor physical, chemical, and biological properties
that inhibit or prevent plant growth. These poor properties may be a result of soil formation …

This review summarizes the influences of pyrolysis conditions and feedstock types on
biochar properties and how biochar properties in turn affect soil properties. Mechanistic …

Biochar is a carbon‐rich coproduct resulting from pyrolyzing biomass. When applied to the
soil it resists decomposition, effectively sequestering the applied carbon and mitigating …

The impact of the excessive use of N fertilizer remains an environmental problem of global
concern. The effect of biochar on soil N retention is still unclear, and knowledge on how a …

According to the circular economy concept, the production of fertilizers should be closed in a
loop, which prevents excessive emissions and harmful effects to the environment. Biological …

In this study, the characteristics of maize biochar produced at different pyrolysis
temperatures (300, 450 and 600° C) and its effects on organic carbon, nitrogen and …

Simple Summary Minimizing the effects of climate change by reducing GHG emissions is
crucial and can be accomplished by truly understanding the carbon footprint phenomenon …

Biochar has shown a positive impact on degraded soils. However, the effect of co-applied
biochar with farmyard manure and inorganic fertilizer on soil chemical characteristics, yield …

As the world's population grows, it is necessary to rethink how countries throughout the
world produce food in order to replace the conventional and unsustainable agricultural …

The benefits of biochar to soils for agricultural purposes are numerous. Biochar may be
added to soils with the intention to improve the soil, displace an amount of conventional …
