Biochar and Its Broad Impacts in Soil Quality and Fertility, Nutrient Leaching and Crop Productivity: A Review

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 11(5), С. 993 - 993

Опубликована: Май 17, 2021

Biochar is gaining significant attention due to its potential for carbon (C) sequestration, improvement of soil health, fertility enhancement, and crop productivity quality. In this review, we discuss the most common available techniques biochar production, main physiochemical properties biochar, effects on including physical, chemical, biological parameters quality fertility, nutrient leaching, salt stress, addition, impacts addition salt-affected heavy metal contaminated soils were also reviewed. An ample body literature supports idea that amended with has a high increase concomitant in structure, use efficiency (NUE), aeration, porosity, water-holding capacity (WHC), among other amendments. However, increases biochar-amended are frequently reported coarse-textured sandy compared fine-textured fertile soils. effect microbial community composition abundance. The negative polluted have plant growth yield components such as aggregation stability can be ameliorated by application biochar. Moreover, positive been observed when was applied organic inorganic amendments fertilizers. decrease nitrogen (N) leaching volatilization well NUE. some biomass activity reported. There evidence sorb retain pesticides long periods time, which may result weed infestation control cost.

Drivers of biochar-mediated improvement of soil water retention capacity based on soil texture: A meta-analysis

Geoderma, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 437, С. 116591 - 116591

Опубликована: Июль 11, 2023

Biochar has been widely applied as a soil modifier to improve the physical properties and increase water content of soil. Although response hydrological biochar extensively studied, effect on in different textures not comprehensively quantified. Here, we performed meta-analysis 939 observations quantify effects retention capacity with textures. The field (FC) available (AWC) was greater coarse-textured soils (23.8%, 25.6%) than those medium- (5.0%, 20.9%) fine-textured (7.2%, 11.5%). permanent wilting point increased (19.9%), decreased medium-textured (−4.2%), did change considerably affected by biochar. We demonstrated that FC is always main driver AWC. In soils, there high correlation between properties. addition, specific surface area, functional groups, cation exchange are important factors affecting Our study establishes differences texture cause heterogeneity mechanisms which improves retention.

Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of Large-Scale Biochar Production and Use for Negative Emissions in Stockholm

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 53(14), С. 8466 - 8476

Several cities in Sweden are aiming for climate neutrality within a few decades and negative emissions thereafter. Combined biochar, heat, power production is an option to achieve carbon sequestration relying on biomass-fuelled district heating, while biochar use could mitigate environmental pollution greenhouse gas from the agricultural sector. By using prospective life cycle assessment, impact of pyrolysis woodchips Stockholm compared with two reference scenarios based woodchip combustion. The produces heat city Stockholm, whose potential as feed manure additive Swedish dairy farms explored. change mitigation trade-off between bioenergy Stockholm's context dominated by fate marginal power. If decarbonisation achieved, building new plant becomes better than conventional Effects cascading animal husbandry uncertain but provide 10–20% more direct soil incorporation. These results help design regional systems that combine dioxide increased methane nitrous oxide efforts can also guide development minimum performance criteria products.

Biochar is one of the most affordable negative emission technologies (NET) at hand for future large-scale deployment carbon dioxide removal (CDR), which typically found essential to stabilizing global temperature rise relatively low levels. has also attracted attention as a soil amendment capable improving yield and quality reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this work, we review literature on biochar production potential its effects climate, food security, ecosystems, toxicity. We identify three key factors that are largely affecting environmental performance application agricultural soils: (1) condition during pyrolysis, (2) conditions background (3) field management biochar. using only forest or crop residues can achieve up 10% required CDR 1.5 ° C pathways about 25% 2 pathways; consideration dedicated crops feedstocks increases 15–35% 35–50%, respectively. A quantitative life-cycle assessment (LCA) studies systems shows total climate change ranges between net 0.04 tCO eq reduction 1.67 per tonnes feedstock. The wide range values due different assumptions in LCA studies, such type feedstock, stability soils, emissions, substitution effects, methodological issues. Potential trade-offs mitigation other impact categories include particulate matter, acidification, eutrophication mostly depend energy system considered whether used production. Overall, our finds soils presents risks terms impacts improve decisions regarding feedstock mix pyrolysis be optimized maximize benefits reduce under conditions. However, more knowledge fate freshwater black emissions required, they represent consequences interact with through many complex mechanisms (i.e., surface albedo, from etc.) water bodies leaching nutrients. These lack simplified metrics approaches prevents their routine inclusion studies. Specific produced sophisticated ecosystem models instrumental increasing resolution accuracy sustainability analysis ultimately characterization heterogeneities varying local combinations conversion process, conditions, practice.
