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.

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.

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

Explore how biochar can be used to effectively remove E. coli from stormwater, improving water quality and safety.

Learn how the particle size of biochar affects its porosity and its effectiveness in soil enhancement.

Learn how biochar combats citrus greening disease and boosts citrus tree productivity and health.

In a groundbreaking experiment, Cherry Belle radishes were cultivated alongside biochar, unveiling a promising alliance that intrigued researchers with its potential to revolutionize agricultural practices.

Wakefield and the GoChain Foundation (GoChain), the developer of the GoChain blockchain protocol, today announced the signing of a Node Operating Agreement whereas Wakefield is now operating a signing node in support of the global GoChain blockchain network.

Biochar improves soil water retention, boosts ecosystem resilience, and mitigates climate change by sequestering carbon and reducing nutrient leaching, ensuring more reliable agricultural production amidst extreme weather events.

The newly formed Leadership Council of ForesTrust includes Domtar, Wakefield Biochar, Thompson Appalachian Hardwoods, Enviva, and the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, with technology support from Chainparency.
