In the context of climate change and the circular economy, biochar has recently found many
applications in various sectors as a versatile and recycled material. Here, we review …

Traditional fertilizers are highly inefficient, with a major loss of nutrients and associated
pollution. Alternatively, biochar loaded with phosphorous is a sustainable fertilizer that …

Biochar and compost are increasingly considered sustainable amendments to improve soil
fertility, while reducing agrochemical use. However, the efficiency of biochar, compost, and …

Different activation and N-doping treatments were used to produce biochar-based fertilizers
(BBFs) with increased N concentration and slow N release. Pristine biochars were produced …

Applying biochar to agricultural soils has the potential to sequester gigatons of carbon
dioxide each year, while also improving agricultural yields and remediating soil pollutants …

Phosphorous (P) resources are finite. Sewage sludge recyclates (SSR) are not only of
interest as plant fertilizer but also as potential source of minerals in animal nutrition …

Grasslands (natural, semi-natural and improved) occupy approximately one-third of the
terrestrial biosphere and are key for global ecosystem service provision, storing up to 30% of …

Soil nitrogen (N) is one of the most limiting factors affecting crop production in sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA). Here we conducted a meta-analysis on the effect of climate smart agricultural …

Although addition of pyrolyzed organic materials (biochars) to soil generally results in
increased growth and physiological performance of plants, neutral and negative responses …

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 …
