Towards a Climate-Smart Agriculture Using Biochar to Reduce N2O Emissions, Increase Carbon Sequestration, and Maintain Soil Biodiversity
Short Introductive summary
A promising way to store carbon (C) in Brazil is to use residual biomass by converting it into biochar, a pyrolyzed amendment considered a promising management practice of climate-smart agriculture to increase the sustainability of agro-industrial systems. However, there is currently limited knowledge about how biochar affects greenhouse gas dynamics in tropical soils and how the physicochemical properties of biochar may impact these responses. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the potential of biochar produced from Brazil’s main available residual biomasses to promote carbon sequestration, mitigate nitrous oxide emissions in tropical soil, and assess its effects on soil microbial diversity.
