Soil salinization is a growing global threat that reduces crop yields and limits sustainable agriculture, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. A new study shows that carefully designed biochar ...

A new study reveals that biochar, a carbon-rich material increasingly used in agriculture, can significantly influence how soils respond to warming when releasing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse ...

In the quest for climate solutions, Pat Jones, the president of Clean Maine Carbon, is among the Maine entrepreneurs banking on this charcoal-like substance. They say it can bind up carbon for decades ...

Biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural waste, has long been valued for improving soil and capturing carbon. Now, a new review ...

How can peanut shell biochar (charcoal-like heated biomass) reshape soil microbes for better crops? This is what a recent ...

Rice paddies feed more than half of the world's population, yet they are also hotspots for toxic arsenic contamination and greenhouse gas emissions. A ...
