Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biochar is pyrolyzed by biomass under no oxygen or limited oxygen conditions. Because of its unique physical–chemical characteristics, it has the potential to act as a multi-beneficial amendment to improve soil health, mitigate soil degradation, control soil pollution, increase soil carbon content and improve plant growth. Therefore, the biochar research is now a hot topic across the globe for achieving sustainable agriculture and environment. The major topics of this Special Issue are as follows: 1) Biochar application and soil quality improvement. 2) Biochar application and soil pollution remediation. 3) Biochar application and plant growth. 4) Biochar application and carbon neutralization. 5) Biochar application and agricultural green development. By covering the recent progress in biochar application and research, this Special Issue can move forwards science on biochar research and can also help policy makers worldwide to promote biochar application based on the up-to-date scientific results.
