Soil acidification is quietly threatening agricultural productivity worldwide, reducing crop yields and degrading soil health. Now, a new global study shows that biochar, a carbon-rich material made ...

Scientists have illuminated the intricate relationship between bamboo biochar application, rhizosphere microbial communities, ...

Biochar may improve soil, but too much can harm ants, disrupting their behavior, teamwork, and the health of the ecosystem.

Biochar, also referred to as carbon material, is produced from the thermochemical conversion process (heating or burning) of feedstocks or waste biomass, such as forest residue, crops, or agricultural ...

A five-year field study shows biochar improves soil chemistry and transforms microbial communities in acidifying paddy soils ...

Biochar, a charcoal-like sub-stance derived from agricultural and forest wastes, is gaining recognition as an effective soil amendment that not only enhances plant growth but also helps combat climate ...

The future of a proposed fertilizer facility in Saratoga County is unclear — and so are plans for a Fulton County location. Saratoga Biochar Solutions has been trying to build a plant in the town of ...

Researchers have obtained biochar using manure waste, a new material that can improve soil properties and increase crop yields. The results suggest an optimal solution to manage the manure from ...

A new study shows that biochar, widely promoted as a climate-smart soil amendment, can significantly reshape the social lives of ants, with cascading ...
