Biochar Carbon stability in some contrasting soils from Australia

Year: 2014

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the world. The largest \ncontributor to climate change is the greenhouse gas CO2, which is released through \nanthropogenic activities such as burning of fossil fuel and agricultural waste. To find \nsolutions to mitigate climate change, research has been proposed to reduce \ngreenhouse gas emissions or off-setting emissions through carbon (C) sequestration \nin soil − the largest C pool of terrestrial ecosystems. In this context, long-term C \nstorage through biochar application to agricultural soils has been becoming a priority \narea of research in the last two decades.
