Biochar Ecotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture and Environment cover

This book explores biochar ecotechnologies, focusing on advancements that enhance agricultural productivity and promote sustainability in waste management and circular bioeconomy.

The book Biochar Ecotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture and Environment provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in biochar ecotechnologies aimed at improving agricultural practices and promoting sustainability. It delves into how these technologies enhance agricultural production while also addressing waste management challenges. By exploring the pyrolysis process at both large-scale and small-scale levels, the chapters present innovative solutions that contribute to a circular bioeconomy.

In this work, the authors synthesize recent breakthroughs in biochar agro-ecotechnologies, detailing their roles in increasing productivity and promoting sustainable practices. Key topics include the mechanisms by which biochar interacts with fertilizers to influence the biogeochemical cycles in soil, nutrient retention, and the responses of soil microbes. Additionally, the book discusses the emission of greenhouse gases and the overall plant responses to biochar application, providing a holistic view of its environmental impacts.

Finally, Biochar Ecotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture and Environment aims to broaden the understanding of nanotechnological advancements in the production of biochar-based slow-release fertilizers. It highlights the nano characteristics that enhance fertilizer efficiency and minimize chemical losses, ultimately supporting the goals of sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation.
