Effect of biochar amendment on the soil-atmosphere exchange of greenhouse gases from an intensive subtropical pasture in northern New South Wales, Australia (2011, result): “This is in contrast to other studies (laboratory based) where significant reductions in GHG emissions after the addition of biochar to soils were reported (Rondon et al. 2005; Singh et al. 2010; Spokas et al. 2009; Yanai et al. 2007).”
Biochar: a synthesis of its agronomic impact beyond carbon sequestration. (2012, background): “, 1989), which have only received limited attention in the biochar literature (Cheng et al., 2006; Spokas et al., 2009; Zimmerman, 2010; Jones et al., 2011).”
Biochar effects on soil biota – A review (2011, background): “…are high, between 1.5 and 2.1 g cm 3 for a range of feedstocks (Brewer et al., 2009), whereas, bulk densities typically lie between 0.09 and 0.5 g cm 3 (Karaosmanoglu et al., 2000; Özçimen and Karaosmanolu, 2004; Bird et al., 2008; Spokas et al., 2009), values much lower than those of soils.”
A novel magnetic biochar efficiently sorbs organic pollutants and phosphate. (2011, background): “Due to its capability for carbon storage (Lehmann, 2007) and reducing or suppressing CO2, CH4 and N2O production in soil (Spokas et al., 2009; Yanai et al., 2007), biochar may contribute to atmosphere green house gases reduction.”
Biochar: Carbon Sequestration, Land Remediation, and Impacts on Soil Microbiology (2012, methodology): “( 2009 ) who used Waukegan silt loam soil amended (2–60% w/w, 24–720 t ha −1 ) with CQuest TM (500°C) biochar to examine respiration, nitrous oxide production, methane oxidation and herbicide transformation (atrazine, 1.”
Mechanical, Chemical, and Physical Properties of Wood and Perennial Grass Biochars for Possible Composite Application (2015, background): “Spokas et al. (2009) looked at the sorption properties of greenhouse gasses and the degradation of herbicides when biochar is added to soil.”
Environmental application of biochar: Current status and perspectives. (2017, background): “This has raised a serious public concern for the protection of the environment and human health (Spokas et al., 2009; WHO, 2017).”
Biochar in agriculture - prospects and related implications (2010, background): “Spokas et al.27 compared CO2 respiration, N2O production, methane (CH4) oxidation, and herbicide retention and transformation through laboratory incubations at field capacity in a Minnesota soil (Waukegan silt loam), with and without added biochar.”
Impacts of Sixteen Different Biochars on Soil Greenhouse Gas Production (2009, methodology): “For N2O, a majority of the chars suppressed N2O production, which has been seen in the field [10,11] and unsaturated laboratory incubations [13,16].”
