We synthesized 20 years of research to explain the interrelated processes that determine
soil and plant responses to biochar. The properties of biochar and its effects within …

Biochar is produced as a charred material with high surface area and abundant functional
groups by pyrolysis, which refers to the process of thermochemical decomposition of organic …

The emission of nutrients and pesticides from agricultural soils endangers natural habitats.
Here, we review to which extent carbon-rich organic amendments help to retain nutrients …

Biochars have attracted tremendous attention due to their effects on soil improvement; they
enhance carbon storage, soil fertility and quality, and contaminant (organic and heavy …

Current agriculture faces multiple challenges due to rapid increases in food demand and
environmental concerns. Recently, biochar application in agricultural soils has attracted a …

This paper aimed to highlight the succession of biochar addition for soil amendment and
contaminants remediation during composting process. Biochar incorporated into the …

Biochar refers to the high-carbon, black fine-grained product of biomass pyrolysis.
Independent studies repeatedly confirmed that its incorporation into arable land is a reliable …

Interest in biochar production from organic waste has been growing in recent years due to its
broad applicability, availability, and smoother production. Biochar production techniques are …

Purpose Biochar, the by-product of thermal decomposition of organic materials in an oxygen-
limited environment, is increasingly being investigated due to its potential benefits for soil …

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 …
