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 …

Soil amendment with biochar is evaluated globally as a means to improve soil fertility and to
mitigate climate change. However, the effects of biochar on soil biota have received much …

Biochars (n= 94) were found to have ash contents from 0.4% to 88.2%, volatile matter from
13.2% to 70.0%, and fixed carbon from 0% to 77.4%(w/w). Greater pyrolysis temperature for …

Biochar is a carbon-rich by-product of the thermal conversion of organic feedstocks and is
primarily used as a soil amendment. Identification and quantification of biochar properties …

Aims This study aims to (i) determine the effects of incorporating 47 Mg ha− 1 acacia green
waste biochar on soil physical properties and water relations, and (ii) to explore the different …

Biochar application to soils is being considered as a means to sequester carbon (C) while
concurrently improving soil functions. The main focus of this report is providing a critical …

Biomass pyrolysis with biochar returned to soil is a possible strategy for climate change
mitigation and reducing fossil fuel consumption. Pyrolysis with biochar applied to soils …

This review explores two areas: firstly, the production of biochars from an array of different
woody and non-woody waste biomass through pyrolysis and its physical-chemical …

Charcoal production in tropical regions of the world is often perceived to have devastating
ecological and environmental effects and governments, public forestry institutions and non …

Purpose Biochar addition to soils potentially affects various soil properties, and these effects
are dependent on biochars derived from different feedstock materials and pyrolysis …
