Large amounts of organic wastes, which pose a severe threat to the environment, can be
thermally pyrolyzed to produce biochar. Biochar has many potential uses owing to its unique …

Soil is a fundamental part of successful agriculture, and its quality has to be improved to
maximize crop yield and soil fertility. To increase crop productivity and soil fertility, biochar …

Soils in intensively farmed areas of the world are prone to degradation. Amendment of such
soils with organic waste materials attempts to restore soil quality. Organic amendments are …

Biochar is the carbon-rich product obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass
under oxygen-limited conditions. Biochar has attained extensive attention due to its …

Agriculture and land use change has significantly increased atmospheric emissions of the
non-CO2 green-house gases (GHG) nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4). Since human …

Biochar (BC) application has the potential to be integrated into a carbon-trading framework
owing to its multiple environmental and economic benefits. Despite the increasing research …

Biochar is one of the most affordable negative emission technologies (NET) at hand for
future large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR), which is typically found …

Soil amendment with biochar can modify soil microbial abundance, activity and community
structure. Nevertheless, the long-term evolution of these effects is unknown and of critical …

There have been many studies on soil quality and crop yield using different biochar
application amounts, but few studies have focused on the combination of different methods …

Silicon (Si) is beneficial to plants since it increases photosynthetic efficiency, and alleviates
biotic and abiotic stresses. In the most highly weathered and desilicated soils, plant …
