A new field study reveals that biochar, a carbon-rich material made from plant residues, can significantly restore soil health and nitrogen ...
Biochar’s climate promise depends on soil type: Cuts N₂O in dry fields but boosts it in rice paddies
A research team has uncovered strikingly different effects of biochar on nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from acidic agricultural soils, showing that ...
Biochar is a form of charcoal (mostly carbon) produced by heating organic matter in the absence of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis. This avoids the production of carbon dioxide and locks up the ...

WASHINGTON – Since David Laird was young, the “lush, green forests” of the western United States meant an annual summer trip to hike, camp and fish. But the last time Laird was in Wyoming’s Medicine ...
DDT soil pollution is still a major problem in many parts of the world. Researchers have developed a new method to manage ecological risks from the toxin by binding it with biochar. When they mixed ...
On a site next to a sawmill in Waverly, Virginia, a startup takes sawdust and offcuts from the mill and heats it up to turn it into biochar, a material that can store carbon for hundreds or thousands ...
