Biochar Application: Essential Soil Microbial Ecology, 1st Edition, is a reference that examines the impacts of biochar amendments on soil and broader ecosystems. The book details the functional, structural, and compositional dynamics of complex microbial populations in amended soils.
The volume addresses how biochar additions can support agricultural productivity and contaminated ecosystem remediation by improving soil functions and sequestering carbon dioxide. It covers core topics including feedstock choices, production parameters, and nutrient cycling.
Written by an international team, this reference highlights research gaps to stimulate scientific discussion and help inform climate change policy. It provides a common resource for collaborating research teams worldwide.
