Soil health and crop response of biochar: an updated analysis

Seyed Majid Mousavi et al.

Summary: Biochar has emerged as the most promising option for addressing the challenges of sustainable agriculture in the face of changing climate. Its properties, such as high specific surface area and stable carbon source, contribute to better soil health and crop responses. However, current recommendations for biochar use in different crops are high and need to be evaluated in combination with fertilizers or organic manures to achieve sustainable crop performance. Additionally, biochar has the added advantage of scavenging soil pollutants and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Future research should focus on developing crop-based value-chain management of biochar.

Resilience of ecosystem service delivery in grasslands in response to single and compound extreme weather events

Rosalind J. Dodd et al.

Summary: Extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, are increasing in frequency and magnitude, with varying impacts on grassland ecosystem functioning. This study explored the effects of a single drought, flood, or compound event on temperate grassland ecosystems. The results showed that flooding had a greater impact than drought on ecosystem processes, and the grassland was more resistant and resilient to drought. The compound flood + drought treatment did not result in a more severe impact compared to the single events, suggesting that concurrent events of contrasting nature may promote ecosystem resilience.

Multifunctional applications of biochar beyond carbon storage

Nanthi Bolan et al.

Summary: Biochar is a charred material with high surface area and abundant functional groups produced by pyrolysis, and it has multifunctional values when applied in soil, but may also lead to unintended consequences.

Grassland soil carbon sequestration: Current understanding, challenges, and solutions

Yongfei Bai et al.

Summary: Grasslands act as important soil carbon sinks, storing about one third of global terrestrial carbon stocks. Plant diversity increases soil organic carbon storage by enhancing carbon inputs and promoting microbial contributions. Improved grazing management and biodiversity restoration provide cost-effective solutions for climate change mitigation in grasslands.

Waste-derived biochar for water pollution control and sustainable development

Mingjing He et al.

Summary: This review discusses the application of biochar in municipal wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater decontamination, and stormwater management. Biochar can be engineered to target specific contaminants in industrial wastewater treatment and enhance processes in municipal wastewater treatment and stormwater management. The scalability and commercialization of biochar production need to be investigated to maximize environmental, societal, and economic benefits.

Climate warming from managed grasslands cancels the cooling effect of carbon sinks in sparsely grazed and natural grasslands

Jinfeng Chang et al.

Summary: This study examines the global trends and regional patterns of grassland greenhouse gas balance from 1750 to 2012. It found that human management activities have caused grasslands to switch from a sink to a source of greenhouse gases, while climate change drivers contributed to a net carbon sink in soil organic matter. The net radiative forcing of all grasslands is currently close to neutral, but has been increasing since the 1960s.

Biochar in climate change mitigation

Johannes Lehmann et al.

Summary: Climate change mitigation strategies based on biochar generation and its application to agricultural soils can effectively sequester carbon, with trade-offs between biogeochemical and economic considerations. Emission reductions and CO2 removal by biochar systems depend on the energy being replaced, with varying impacts when biochar is used instead of coal or renewable energy sources. Opportunities for increasing crop yields exist with biochar additions, but the trade-offs and relationships among emissions reductions, energy production, and fertilizer responses must be carefully considered for effective climate change mitigation.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) allow sensitive differentiation of biological soil quality

Robert W. Brown et al.

Summary: Understanding the change in function of the biological community under different soil conditions is crucial for effective soil quality assessment and remediation efforts. This study compared the use of volatilomics to phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiling for evaluating biological soil quality, with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) showing higher sensitivity in distinguishing soil quality treatments. Specifically, anaerobic soils amended with residues displayed the greatest separation from other treatments, with certain VOCs playing a significant role in this differentiation.
