High-interporosity biochar significantly boosts water retention in coarse soils, especially when combined with compost and cover cropping.

Discover how biochar helps alleviate microplastic toxicity in soil, promoting a healthier environment.

Achieve cleaner water with biochar, the powerful solution transforming municipal wastewater into a safer, eco-friendly resource!

Combining biochar and nitrogen fertilizer improved soil quality, boosted rice yield, and increased beneficial microbes in paddy fields, enhancing crop growth.

By retaining water, maintaining soil health, and reducing environmental harm, biochar is essential for efficient water use and conservation, offering a tangible solution to water shortages and environmental concerns, ultimately securing a better future.

Scientists investigated the potential of using biochar made from local feedstocks, pine beetle–killed lodgepole pine and tamarisk, to remediate soils affected by mine lands.

The carbon market reduces greenhouse gases by promoting efficient energy use, renewable energy, and tree planting, earning tradable carbon credits to fund carbon capture projects.

Biosolids, when treated with biochar, become a potent tool for phosphate remediation, harnessing the power of nature to mitigate water pollution and restore ecological balance.

Researchers found that moderate biochar use in rice farming improves soil quality and yields, while excessive amounts are less effective, highlighting the need for balanced biochar application to reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers.

This study revealed that high-surface-area biochar, such as walnut shell, enhanced water retention in sandy soils, particularly at higher application rates, but showed limited effects in fine-textured soils.
