DescriptionBiochar. The addition of biochar, a man-made charcoal, to soil is widely proposed as a means of improving productivity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from primary production systems. There is particular interest about its role in sequestering carbon and mitigating nitrous oxide emissions, as well as its ability to enhance soil nutrient utilisation and retention which, in turn, enhances soil and plant health. Project: Biochar and nitrogen cycling.
