A new review in Microbial Ecology details how combining biochar with Pseudomonas bacteria boosts crop growth and pollutant ...

In the first study of its kind, research has cast significant doubt over the use of biochar to alleviate climate change. Biochar is produced when wood is combusted at high temperatures to make bio-oil ...

A critical review in Plant and Soil finds that biochar could plausibly intercept labile root-exudate carbon and convert it ...

In the first study of its kind, scientists have used synthetic biology to study how a popular soil amendment called biochar can interfere with the chemical signals that some plant pathogens use to ...

Biochar, an ancient soil amendment, could be a promising tool for future soil health enhancement and maintenance, according to a new study. The findings show biochar improves the soil microbiome and ...

A new study reveals that combining biochar with a natural plant hormone can significantly improve wheat’s ability to withstand two major agricultural threats: cadmium contamination and drought.

A plant best known as an ecological problem may offer a new tool for healthier soils and more resilient crops. A study published in Biochar reports that biochar made from Solidago canadensis L., an ...

A Delano operation with ambitions to bury carbon while also generating renewable energy from ag waste says it has achieved a first step in the process by producing biochar for sale to farmers as a ...

Each tonne translates to one carbon credit, ready to be sold in the carbon market to polluting companies to help them meet ...

For some years now, biochar has been studied extensively as an alternative to phosphate fertilizer. Biochar is a recyclate produced by biomass pyrolysis, i.e., organic feedstocks are incinerated ...

In the first study of its kind, Rice University scientists have used synthetic biology to study how a popular soil amendment called "biochar" can interfere with the chemical signals that some microbes ...
