“…Greenhouse gases emission differential between the biochars and their corresponding raw feedstocks in treated soil was used as indicator of GHGs emission by biochars during the incubation period Biochars prepared from blends produced at 700°C pyrolysis temperatures and used at 2% application rate to soil showed higher pH (6.8), increased water retention, and high
K and NO3-N content. The net effect of these changes in soil properties positively impacted both seed germination and biomass yield of the plants (up to two
folds in soil amended with biochars). …”
