With climate change at an all-time high in our world, innovative practices are being sought worldwide in the quest for a sustainable future. While studying abroad in Europe this summer, I was ...

Biochar is a material you may never have heard of, but its properties and potential are incredible. It’s made from biomass, usually trees or agricultural waste, says Eric Singsaas, a research group ...

A growing body of research suggests that combining enzymes with biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural and ...

Laird and other USDA/ARS scientists are studying how biochar interacts with soil. At ISU’s Ag Engineering and Agronomy Research Farms west of Ames, they applied 0, 4.4 and 8.2 tons per acre of biochar ...

Biochar has long been promoted as a climate-friendly soil amendment, but new research suggests that treating it as a one-size-fits-all solution may be limiting its full potential. A new open-access ...

A new study shows biochar to be far more effective at long-term carbon storage than previously thought. The study reveals critical flaws in the models used by the IPCC and European climate ...

An otherwise normal-looking grass field in Fruita was set up this week to test a new agricultural practice that, if successful, could save water, improve air quality and sequester carbon in the soil.

Groundbreaking new research published this month—co-authored by research faculty at RIT’s Golisano Institute for Sustainability—shows that carbon-removal solution biochar can play a significant role ...

A new review of research suggests that the nature-based technology biochar -- a carbon-rich material -- could be an important tool to use in agriculture to help mitigate climate change. A new review ...
