Impacts of Biochar on Agriculture Soils and Environmental Implications
Abstract:
Biochar, a by-product of biomass pyrolysis, has been suggested as a mean to combat climate change by sequestering carbon, and at the same time to provide energy and increase crop yields. As one possible source of the components with high aromatic structure in soil humus, biochar is of great importance in increasing soil carbon storage and improving soil fertility, and in maintaining the balance of soil ecosystem. This paper briefly reviewed and synthesized recent findings and discussions regarding the production and characteristics of biochar, its effects on global climate change and particularly in relation to the environmental effect of biochar in soil. Research prospects were briefly discussed on the environmental behavior and effect of biochar in soil ecosystem.
