Abstract:Biochar is widely recognized as an efficient tool for soil fertility and carbon sequestration. The understanding of its physical and chemical properties is strongly related to the type of used material, is crucial to identify the most suitable application of biochar in soil. A selection of organic wastes (e.g., rice straw, rice husk and saw dust) with different characteristics were pyrolyzed at 350 0C in order to optimize the physical and chemical properties of biochar as a soil amendment. Bulk density of bioc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
