Abstract In the context of climate change and circular economy, biochar has recently found many applications in various sectors as a versatile recycled material. Here, we review application biochar-based for carbon sink, covering agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, environmental remediation, construction, energy storage. The ultimate storage reservoirs are soils, civil infrastructure, landfills. Biochar-based fertilisers, which combine traditional fertilisers with nutrient carrier, promising agronomy. use feed additive animals shows benefits terms growth, gut microbiota, reduced enteric methane production, egg yield, endo-toxicant mitigation. Biochar enhances digestion operations, primarily biogas generation upgrading, performance sustainability, mitigation inhibitory impurities. composts, controls release greenhouse gases microbial activity. Co-composted improves soil properties crop productivity. Pristine engineered can also be employed water remediation to remove pollutants. added cement or asphalt, thus conferring structural functional advantages. Incorporating biocomposites insulation, electromagnetic radiation protection moisture control. Finally, synthesising materials requires additional functionalisation.

Biochar-Soil-Plant interactions: A cross talk for sustainable agriculture under changing climate

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11

Published: Feb. 14, 2023

Biochars provide several agricultural and environmental benefits, such as soil health improvement, better crop growth yield, carbon sequestration, decreasing greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, regulation of nutrient dynamics. This review highlights the role biochar in transforming soil’s physiochemical biological properties, their impact on improving seed germination seedling growth, altering physiological attributes, enhancing resistance against biotic abiotic stresses, productivity, curtailing GHGs, controlling leaching losses. However, type feedstock used, pyrolysis temperature, application rate method, species largely influence performance under different conditions. Application biochars at low rates help to promote growth. Biochar modified microbial processes rhizosphere increased mineralization enhanced availability for plant uptake. Hence, diseases, reduced heavy metals improved resilience stressors. By providing a comprehensive analysis about variable impacts physicochemical development productivity mitigating problems, this is quite valuable developing an efficient specific with desired functionalities. It could be helpful ensuring food security management environment. Furthermore, identifies knowledge gaps suggests future outlooks commercialization applications large-scale.

Effects of biochar carried microbial agent on compost quality, greenhouse gas emission and bacterial community during sheep manure composting

Biochar, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 5(1)

Published: Jan. 16, 2023

Abstract Although composting is a very effective way to dispose agricultural wastes, its development greatly limited by the low compost quality and greenhouse gas emissions. At present, there lack of means solve these two problems simultaneously. Here, effects three additives compound microbial agent, biochar carried agent on performance, nitrogen transformation, ammonia emissions, bacterial communities were investigated in sheep manure during 28 days. Results showed that prolonged thermophilic stage promoted maturity. same time, it was confirmed increase decomposition organic transformation NH 4 + -N NO 3 − -N. Besides, adding decreased CH , N 2 O emissions 65.23%, 42.05% 68.64%, respectively. The mainly correlated Chloroflexi Myxococcota Acidobacteriota Firmicutes Gemmatimonadota . Redundancy analysis EC TKN closely related community. Therefore, recommended as an additive enhance reduce composting. Graphical

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) like nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4) are both emitted removed by soils. Accurate worldwide allocations of budget essential for land use planning, global climate change, climate-related research. Precise measurements, drivers, mitigation strategies necessary, given agricultural soil’s significant potential storage emission capacities. Different management practices cause greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere contribute to anthropogenic emissions. Agricultural soils can generate 70% world’s manmade N2O also behave as a CO2 sink source organic producers consumers CH4. When it comes agronomic management, all these GHGs distinct. Therefore, several approaches measuring GHG from available be categorized chamber systems remote sensing approaches. Sustainable agriculture stands out viable transformative approach increase efficiency while addressing challenge Incorporating advanced technologies, precise data analytics, site-specific offer pathway mitigate emissions, thereby reducing warming (GWP). this review paper focuses solely on drivers influencing involving soil quantification In addition, aimed at optimizing highlighted.
