Innovative models predict and optimize the conversion of aquatic biomass into high-quality biochar, offering a path to reduce waste and enhance renewable resources This comprehensive study compiled an ...

The food that makes it to your plate is but a fraction of what actually grew in a field somewhere. Cassava, corn, wheat, rice — all critical crops produce waste biomass that farmers might be burning ...

Rice feeds billions of people, but flooded paddy fields are also an important source of methane, a greenhouse gas far more powerful than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. A new five-year field ...

Pesticides have remarkably contributed to protecting crop production and increase food production. Despite the improved food availability, the unavoidable ubiquity of pesticides in the aqueous media ...

Environmental pollution is one of the biggest global concerns of our time. Building a sustainable future is only possible if we proactively address every aspect of this problem. In this regard, soil ...

The Pacific Northwest’s expansive forestlands have no shortage of raw material for biochar, a potent soil amendment that also sequesters carbon. However, slash piles and other sources of woody biomass ...

Biochar is a form of charcoal produced from organic materials that offers promising solutions for soil enhancement, bioremediation, and carbon sequestration. This carbon-rich product is created ...

For generations, farmers have used natural materials such as lime, gypsum and manure to improve their soil for growing crops. Now, a team of researchers led by the University of Missouri is giving new ...

As the climate changes, large parts of southern Australia are projected to get drier. Extreme rains are also becoming more common. For farmers, these changes pose big risks. What can we do to manage ...

WASHINGTON – Since David Laird was young, the “lush, green forests” of the western United States meant an annual summer trip to hike, camp and fish. But the last time Laird was in Wyoming’s Medicine ...
