Biochar: a synthesis of its agronomic impact beyond carbon sequestration. (2012, background): “…given the fact that biochar is not a singular homogeneous product and that the degradability is directly tied to the overall chemistry (Spokas, 2010), which varies greatly as a function of biochar type (Zimmerman, 2010) as well as the variability of the biochar itself (Hedges et al., 2000).”
Biochar: Carbon Sequestration, Land Remediation, and Impacts on Soil Microbiology (2012, background): “Biochar quality, in turn, depends on feedstock and pyrolysis conditions (Zimmerman, 2010).”
Dissolved black carbon in aquatic ecosystems (2018, background): “Over time, BC in soils is partially oxidized via biotic and abiotic processes (Bruun et al. 2008; Zimmerman 2010).”
The Biochar Effect: plant resistance to biotic stresses (2011, background): “(iv) The half-life of biochar in soil has been estimated to be hundreds to tens of thousands of years depending on feedstock and pyrolysis conditions (Zimmerman, 2010).”
Biochar physicochemical properties: pyrolysis temperature and feedstock kind effects (2020, background): “The volatile matter content of a biochar affects the stability of the material (Zimmerman 2010), its N availability (Deenik et al. 2010), plant growth (Deenik et al. 2010; Denyes et al. 2014) and its sorption capacity (Mukherjee et al. 2011).”
Production and characterization of slow pyrolysis biochar: influence of feedstock type and pyrolysis conditions (2013, methodology): “In addition to these purported benefits, biochar largely consists of a recalcitrant carbon fraction which has been demonstrated to be very stable, with a half-life of over 1000 years in the soil (Lehmann et al., 2006; Kuzyakov et al., 2009; Lehmann & Joseph, 2009; Zimmerman, 2010).”
Biochar applications and modern techniques for characterization (2016, background): “These changes will affect the ability of biochar mixing into soils, also some significant physical parameters such as specific surface area surface charge, particle size distribution, porosity, bulk density and specific gravity, water-holding capacity, and hydraulic conductivity (Zimmerman 2010).”
