As the planet warms, soils may release more nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas linked to agriculture, fertilizer use, ...

AI may help farmers use biochar as a smarter soil tool, predicting whether it will boost phosphorus for crops or protect ...

Biochar is a form of charcoal (mostly carbon) produced by heating organic matter in the absence of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis. This avoids the production of carbon dioxide and locks up the ...

Biochar is a carbon-rich material that is made from biomass through a thermochemical conversion process known as pyrolysis. Don’t worry if that all sounds like a mouthful—read on for an introduction ...

A study published in Environmental and Biogeochemical Processes determined that iron-fortified, low-temperature biochar can immobilize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated soils.

Antibiotic residues in agricultural soils are an emerging environmental concern, with potential impacts on soil health, crop safety, and the spread of ...

A new study suggests that biochar, a carbon-rich material often used to restore degraded soils, may do more than improve soil chemistry. At the right dose, it may also support the social behaviors of ...

How can peanut shell biochar (charcoal-like heated biomass) reshape soil microbes for better crops? This is what a recent study published in Biochar hopes to address as a team of researchers from ...

Construction on the biochar composting facility in Winton Woods is underway. Great Parks Sustainability Coordinator Stephanie Bacher says the bays will be used to hold biochar and the working compost ...

Biochar is a “charcoal-like substance that’s made by burning organic material from agricultural and forestry wastes (also called biomass) in a controlled process called pyrolysis,” according to ...
