s selectionof the finest soil amendments including biochar, worm castings, mineral rock dust and nutrients. Everything your garden requires for a rich, vibrant base. As we depend on the earth to yield our most basic needs, the earth too depends on us to properly utilize and make the most ...
The burning and natural decomposition of trees and agricultural matter contributes a large amount of CO2 released to the atmosphere. Biochar can store this carbon in the ground, potentially making a significant reduction in atmospheric GHG levels; at the same time its presence in the earth can ...
used to change infertile, sandy soils into rich and sustainable fields, also noticed as distinctive dark-colored soils called terra preta. The carried analysis showed that these types of earth are much more fertile
Terra Preta (TP) literally translates to “dark earth”. The term was coined to describe man-made soil formations found in the Amazon that are composed of charcoal in combination with pottery shards and layers of other waste materials. These soil deposits are sometimes many feet deep with an ...
CAN DIRT SAVE THE EARTH? by Brian Lewis - April 27th, 2018 CAN DIRT SAVE THE EARTH? Letter from Tom Miles, Chairman, International Biochar Initiative, 24 April 2018 Much of the discussion on these forums assumes that more biochar is better, that high concentrations of biochar must be applied...
Global warming and associated climate change are becoming a threat to almost all the ecosystems on the earth. According to the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) special report 2019, the global mean surface (land and ocean) temperature has been increased by 0.87 掳C while mean of...
Biochar, a carbon-rich source and natural growth stimulant, is usually produced by the pyrolysis of agricultural biomass. It is widely used to enhance plant growth, enzyme activity, and crop productivity. However, there are no conclusive studies on how d

Since 2000, anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have risen by more than 3% annually1, putting Earth's ecosystems on a trajectory towards rapid climate change that is both dangerous and irreversible2. To change this trajectory, a timely and ambitious programme of mitigation measures is need...
