Biochar production and application as soil amendment is a promising carbon (C)-negative technology to increase soil C sequestration and mitigate climate change. However, there is …
Pyrogenic organic matter (PyOM) is a product of incomplete combustion during wildfires and an important pool of soil organic carbon (SOC). The dynamics of PyOM and SOC in boreal …
Soil organic carbon (C) is a key component of the global C budget. As soil organic C turnover rates decrease with depth, agricultural practices favoring deep organic C storage …

Biochar of low-medium temperature may contain abundant dissolved organic carbon (BDOC), affecting its priming effect and carbon sequestration potential in soils. However, the …
In recent decades, plantations of exotic species have transformed large tracts of forested landscapes, where they often form a mosaic with the surrounding native forest. Wildfires …
Wildfires in the Arctic are producing pyrogenic carbon as product of incomplete biomass combustion. The storage and distribution of pyrogenic carbon in soils is poorly known …
Biochar persistence depends on both biochar properties and environmental conditions. This chapter discusses the mechanisms by which biochar is mineralized, and how it can be …
Physical disintegration of biochar has been postulated to determine the persistence and mobility in soil of this recalcitrant carbon pool. Therein, freeze–thaw cycling can induce …
