aBiochar sorbs root-derived carbon (rhizodeposits) onto its surface, protecting the rhizodeposits from immediate microbial consumption.b,cThe rhizodeposits form organic interfaces with biochar, and organo-mineral interfaces with very fine layers of soil minerals that accumulate on the biochar, that protec...
planting new forests, and improving how we manage forests could sequester almost 14 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent a year by 2030, says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. So, adding this 14 billion potential contribution of forests to agriculture’s 6 billion potential...
It has been suggested that pyrolysis can potentially preserve more carbon than burning and natural decomposition in a more stable form and therefore mitigate climate change [112]. Using LCA, the use of biochar in agriculture was compared to different waste-management strategies, with the results ...
