Biochar Application to Soils
Biochar application to soils is being considered as a means to sequester carbon (C) while concurrently improving soil functions. The main focus of this report is providing a critical scientific review of the current state of knowledge regarding the effects of biochar application to soils on soil properties and functions. Wider issues, including atmospheric emissions and occupational health and ...
متن کاملMicrobial Competition in Polar Soils: A Review of an Understudied but Potentially Important Control on Productivity
Intermicrobial competition is known to occur in many natural environments, and can result from direct conflict between organisms, or from differential rates of growth, colonization, and/or nutrient acquisition. It has been difficult to extensively examine intermicrobial competition in situ, but these interactions may play an important role in the regulation of the many biogeochemical processes ...
متن کاملAtrazine leaching from biochar-amended soils.
The herbicide atrazine is used extensively throughout the United States, and is a widespread groundwater and surface water contaminant. Biochar has been shown to strongly sorb organic compounds and could be used to reduce atrazine leaching. We used lab and field experiments to determine biochar impacts on atrazine leaching under increasingly heterogeneous soil conditions. Application of pine ch...
متن کاملResearch Strategies for Increasing Productivity of Intensively Managed Forest Plantations
2009) and estimated to average 89% nationally (Ice et al. in press). Information is needed to successfully address the confluence of technological, biophysical, and environmental issues surrounding intensively managed forests. This overview describes current intensive plantation management practices in the United States and their role in increasing forest productivity. Although a number of plan...
متن کاملInfluence of Wood Biochar on Phenanthrene Catabolism in Soils
The impact of increasing amendments of two particle sizes of biochar (≤2 mm and 3–7 mm), applied at 0%, 0.01%, 0.1% and 1% concentrations, on the development of indigenous phenanthrene catabolism was investigated in two soils with different soil organic matter contents. Mineralisation of C-phenanthrene was measured after 1, 20, 60 and 100 d soil-phenanthrene-biochar aging period. The presence o...
