Biochar can be an effective carrier for microbial inoculants because of its favourable properties promoting life. In this review, we assess the effectiveness biochar as a agricultural and environmental applications. is enriched with organic carbon, contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium nutrients, has high porosity moisture-holding capacity. The large number active hydroxyl, carboxyl, sulfonic acid group, amino, imino, acylamino hydroxyl carboxyl functional groups are cell adhesion proliferation. use inoculum been shown to enhance persistence, survival colonization inoculated microbes in soil plant roots, which play crucial role biochemical processes, nutrient carbon cycling, contamination remediation. Moreover, biochar-based including probiotics effectively promote growth remediate contaminated pollutants. These findings suggest that serve promising substitute non-renewable substrates, such peat, formulate deliver inoculants. future research directions relation improving material performance expanding potential applications emerging immobilization technology have proposed.

A global meta-analysis of soil organic carbon in the Anthropocene

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: June 22, 2023

Anthropogenic activities profoundly impact soil organic carbon (SOC), affecting its contribution to ecosystem services such as climate regulation. Here, we conducted a thorough review of the impacts land-use change, land management, and change on SOC. Using second-order meta-analysis, synthesized findings from 230 first-order meta-analyses comprising over 25,000 primary studies. We show that (i) conversion for crop production leads high SOC loss, can be partially restored through management practices, particularly by introducing trees incorporating exogenous in form biochar or amendments, (ii) practices are implemented forests generally result depletion SOC, (iii) indirect effects wildfires, have greater than direct (e.g., rising temperatures). The our study provide strong evidence assist decision-makers safeguarding stocks promoting restoration. Furthermore, they serve crucial research roadmap, identifying areas require attention fill knowledge gaps concerning factors driving changes

Biochar as construction materials for achieving carbon neutrality

Biochar, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 4(1)

Published: Oct. 11, 2022

Abstract Biochar is a waste-derived material that can sequester carbon at large scale. The development of low-carbon and sustainable biochar-enhanced construction materials has attracted extensive interest. Biochar, having porous nature highly functionalised surface, provide nucleation sites for chemical reactions exhibit compatibility with cement, asphalt, polymer materials. This study critically reviewed the state-of-the-art materials, including biochar-cement composites, biochar-asphalt biochar-plastic etc. efficacies mechanisms biochar as were articulated to improve their functional properties. critical review highlighted roles in cement hydration, surface groups engineered promoting reactions, value-added merits (such humidity regulation, thermal insulation, noise reduction, air/water purification, electromagnetic shielding, self-sensing). major properties are correlated features functionalities Further advances our understanding biochar’s various composites foster next-generation design carbon–neutral Graphical

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11, P. 100498 - 100498

Published: Jan. 6, 2023

Soil is a fundamental part of successful agriculture, and its quality has to be improved maximize crop yield soil fertility. To increase productivity fertility, biochar can applied the soil. Biochar solid carbon-rich product produced from biomass agricultural residues, wastes, wood, through pyrolysis in an oxygen-deficient condition. Carbon sequestration important because potential applications recycling retaining nutrients lowering greenhouse gas emissions. In this review, we explore various ensure safe sustainable improvement This review provides overview properties, production technology, employment agriculture. would useful resource for researchers, farmers, academics who are interested utilization biochar.
