Soil microbial communities are responsive to biochar amendments. As the residence time of biochar in soil is expected to be hundreds to thousands of years, the changes in microbial …
The stability and decomposition of biochar are fundamental to understand its persistence in soil, its contribution to carbon (C) sequestration, and thus its role in the global C cycle. Our …
The production of pyrogenic carbon (PyC; a continuum of organic carbon (C) ranging from partially charred biomass and charcoal to soot) is a widely acknowledged C sink, with the …

Biochar can influence native soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralisation through “priming effects”. However, the long-term direction, persistence and extent of SOC priming by biochar …

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 …

Wildfires release substantial quantities of carbon (C) into the atmosphere but they also convert part of the burnt biomass into pyrogenic organic matter (Py OM). This is richer in C …
Biochar has emerged as a promising material for solving many environmental challenges. It's derived from biomass pyrolysis and acts as a carbon shuttle between the atmosphere …
Recently identified post-fire carbon fluxes indicate that, to understand whether global fires represent a net carbon source or sink, one must consider both terrestrial carbon retention …
Biochar production cannot be properly discussed without fi rst distinguishing it from char and charcoal. The literature contains many examples where these three terms for carbonaceous …
