Results in Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 23, P. 102433 - 102433

Published: June 18, 2024

Biochar, as a carbon-rich substance produced from the thermal decomposition of organic biomass, is promising for sustainable environmental management. The production and consumption this can directly indirectly lead to reduction carbon emissions and, result, in neutralizing effects global warming climate change actively participate. biochar route be even more powerful than bioenergy terms targets. In line with these facts, review tries study biochar, its by slow diverse applications reduce ecosystem stability. Also, such sequestration, soil strengthening, reducing pollutants are technically environmentally discussed. Biochar's adaptability consistent development goals, making it valuable tool tackling challenges change, degradation, pollution control. Through process pyrolyzing residues producing possible avoid cumulative 66–130 billion metric tons CO2 equivalent over century. Approximately 50 % avoided result long-term sequestration capabilities biochar. Additionally, 30 reductions come substituting fossil fuels pyrolysis-derived energy, while remaining 20 arise prevention methane nitrous oxide emissions. Reflecting growing significance, industry, valued at approximately USD 541.8 million 2023, poised remarkable growth. Projected expand an impressive annual rate 13.9 2024 2030.

Challenges in Sustainable Agriculture—The Role of Organic Amendments

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(4), P. 643 - 643

Published: April 22, 2024

Soil degradation threatens global food security and environmental sustainability, necessitating effective soil management strategies. This review comprehensively examines the impact of organic amendments on quality productivity across various types climatic conditions. A significant research related to was performed using encompassed data from online search engines for studies published up until 31 December 2023. Despite their heterogeneity use varying methodologies, were narratively synthesized, providing a comprehensive understanding amendment-induced changes in chemical physical properties effectiveness restoration degradation. Organic amendments, including compost, vermicompost, biochar, pomace, are pivotal enhancing by increasing matter content, fostering aggregate formation, improving structure short term. They positively influence water retention capacity, pH levels, nutrient availability, carbon sequestration. In several studies, absent, indicating that effects vary depending texture, application rates, cropping systems, which emphasizes need tailored, sustainable practices. study concludes promising option improvement accumulation. It further suggests an approach integrates methods is essential order meet desirable retain agricultural offers valuable insights recommendations policymakers, practitioners, researchers. can improve ecosystem services contribute climate change adaptation. future, more attention should be directed tillage amendment interaction, as well over specific periods time.

Pastureland Soil Organic Carbon Storage Regulated by Pasture Species and Age Under Nitrogen and Water Addition in Northern China

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(2), P. 399 - 399

Published: Feb. 2, 2025

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator of soil quality and an important component the global cycle. Enhancing SOC through crop rotation promising strategy; yet, underlying mechanisms for accumulation remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate effects different pasture age, species, irrigation, nitrogen (N) fertilization treatments on content storage in pastureland, analyzing below-ground biomass (BGB) data layers (0–10 cm, 10–20 20–40 40–60 cm) each treatment under three factors (pasture species (Bromus inermis, Medicago varia, 1:1 mixture), irrigation (CK, dry-season supplementation), N (0 kg hm−2 y−1, 75 150 y−1)), as well interaction these factors. Pasture water addition levels, age all had significant (p < 0.05) BGB. At 1–3, monocultured Bromus inermis was slightly higher than varia mixture, at 4–5, mixture were inermis. Among them, highest. 2–5, BGB pastureland significantly influenced by addition, age. Over 5-year period, SOCs surface layer fallowed cropland accumulated 32.35 Mg ha−1, showing very good sequestration effect; especially planting mixed more positive effect SOC. Therefore, low medium yielding fields China, according utilization target production cycle, purpose improving can be effectively achieved grass rotation.

Published: Sept. 30, 2022

Soil pesticide contamination induced by modern agriculture has become a serious global issue. Its uncontrolled and inefficient application is among the main reasons for their enrichment in plants animals subsequently transferred to humans providing public health risk. Biochar as renewable economical carbonaceous material provides natural solution immobilizing pesticides improving soil health. The biochar impact agricultural contaminated governed various factors such physico-chemical properties of biochar, pyrolysis, conditions, method, which can lead significant gaps removal or mitigation toxic substances. current study summarizes negative effects use advantages according other remediation techniques, succeeded mechanism controlling on minimizing leaching bioavailability soil. In addition, role fundamental processes adsorption, desorption, biodegradation, discussed. Ultimately, major future research regulation key strategies that are pesticide-contaminated proposed.
