Biochar as a soil conditioner The addition of biochar to agricultural soils is receiving much attention due to the apparent benefits to soil quality and enhanced crop yields, as well as the potential to gain carbon credits by active carbon sequestration. Some studies have shown that biochar can aid in: • retaining nutrients and cation exchange capacity • decreasing soil acidity • decreased uptake of soil toxins • improving soil structure • nutrient use efficiency • water-holding capacity • decreasing releases of non-CO2 greenhouse gases (CH4, N2O).
