"Wide scale biochar has been proposed as a method of increasing soil carbon storage and so mitigating climate change while concurrently providing biofuel and positively affecting soil quality. However, while the effects of biochar application in agricultural systems is being studied throughout the world, little or no work is being undertaken to investigate the effects of biochar application to soi ...

"Biofuel production is considered a promising strategy for reducing the net emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere and decreasing dependence on fossil fuels. Hence interest in energy production from renewable biomass is increasing worldwide. However, biofuel production also implies a decrease in the return of carbon (C) rich crop residues to the soil, which is replaced with nitrogen (N) rich by-prod ...
