New research shows optimized straw-derived biochar could reduce cropland nitrous oxide emissions by up to ~50%. Using machine learning and spatial modeling, scientists reveal that climate, soil, and farming practices all shape how biochar works.

📢 JOB ALERT: we have our first offer - a fantastic #PhD opportunity @unihohenheim.bsky.social with Christian Poll:
You want to isotopically trace the fertilizer's N pool? Characterize #biochar quality? Assess the short-& long-term implications for #crop performance & #stress resistance?
APPLY NOW!

Ha - this is pretty similar to EcoFuture's motivation: fruit production in 🇩🇪 produces pruning material and old, long grass - both ideal substrates for long-term #carbon sequestration ( #CDR ). Amended with a nutrient source, we follow the same approach returning pyrolyzed organic matter to soils 😀.

Can agricultural waste clean our water?
This study shows that biochar made from corn cobs can remove up to 98% of micro/nanoplastics and ~64% of ammonia from water, with no detectable PAH release and good reusability.
A low-cost, sustainable filter for emerging contaminants.

One application. Five years of impact.
A 5-year field study shows that combining biochar with reduced nitrogen fertilization can keep sugarcane growing stronger—even with no additional fertilizer for five years.
