Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Currently, there are more than 10,000 publications about biochar. In several meta-analyses, the overall positive effects of biochar as an option for soil improvement, the sustainable management of natural resources, and climate change mitigation have been impressively demonstrated. However, there are a few issues yet to be addressed.
In this Special Issue, we aim to expand our knowledge on the long-term effects of biochar (> 10 years), including its effects on plant, animal, and human physiology and food ingredients. Further innovative sources (e.g., sewage sludge) and uses (e.g., construction material) of biochar may also be addressed.
