  • Biochar boosts tropical but not temperate crop yields

    Open AccessSimon Jeffery, Diego Ábalos et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Applying biochar to soil is thought to have multiple benefits, from helping mitigate climate change [1, 2], to managing waste [3] to conserving soil [4]. Biochar is also widely assumed to boost crop yield [5, 6], but there is controversy regarding the extent and cause of any yield benefit [7]. Here we use a global-scale meta-analysis to show that biochar has, on average, no effect on crop yield in temperate latitudes, yet elicits a 25% average in…

  • Reductions in soil surface albedo as a function of biochar application rate

    Open AccessFrank Verheijen, Frank G A Verheijen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Biochar can be defined as pyrolysed (charred) biomass produced for application to soils with the aim of mitigating global climate change while improving soil functions. Sustainable biochar application to soils has been estimated to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 71-130 Pg CO2-Ce over 100 years, indicating an important potential to mitigate climate change. However, these estimates ignored changes in soil surface reflection by the applic…
