Biochar improves maize growth by alleviation of nutrient stress in a moderately acidic low-input Nepalese soil
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)We studied the role of biochar in improving soil fertility for maize production. The effects of biochar on the alleviation of three potential physical-chemical soil limitations for maize growth were investigated, i.e. water ... -
Can polyethylene passive samplers predict polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) uptake by earthworms and turnips in a biochar amended soil?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)A pot experiment was carried out in which aged polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) contaminated soil was amended with biochar, and three phases; earthworms, turnips and polyethylene (PE) passive samplers, were added simultaneously ... -
Cation exchange capacity of biochar: An urgent method modification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Biochar, produced through pyrolysis of organic matter, is negatively charged, thus contributing to electrostatic adsorption of cations. However, due to its porous structure and contents of alkaline ashes, the determination ... -
Excavated vs novel in situ soil washing as a remediation strategy for sandy soils impacted with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances from aqueous film forming foams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Exposure assessment of plastics, phthalate plasticizers and their transformation products in diverse bio-based fertilizers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024) -
Fading positive effect of biochar on crop yield and soil acidity during five growth seasons in an Indonesian Ultisol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Low fertility limits crop production on acidic soils dominating much of the humid tropics. Biochar may be used as a soil enhancer, but little consensus exists on its effect on crop yield. Here we use a controlled, replicated ... -
Flame curtain kilns produce biochar from dry biomass with minimal methane emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
Identifying persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) organic compounds detected in shale gas wastewater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Industrial byproducts for the soil stabilization of trace elements and per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Limited access to oxygen reduces the release of harmful trace elements from submerged alum shale debris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
Multi-year double cropping biochar field trials in Nepal: Finding the optimal biochar dose through agronomic trials and cost-benefit analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Poor water and nutrient retention are the major soil fertility limitations in the low productivity agricultural soils of Nepal. The addition of biochar to these soils is one way these hindrances can be overcome. In the ... -
Significant build-up of soil organic carbon under climate-smart conservation farming in Sub-Saharan Acrisols
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Conservation farming (CF) involving minimumtillage, mulching and crop rotation may offer climate change adaptation and mitigation benefits. However, reported effects of CF, as applied by smallholders, on storage of soil ... -
Stabilization of PFAS-contaminated soil with activated biochar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Biochars are considered potential sustainable sorbents to reduce the leaching of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) fromcontaminated soils. However, biochar characteristicsmust probably be optimized to achieve ... -
Stabilization of PFAS-contaminated soil with sewage sludge- and wood-based biochar sorbents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024) -
The effect of biochar, lime and ash on maize yield in a long-term field trial in a Ultisol in the humid tropics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A multi-season field trial was carried out to investigate the effect of the amendment of biochar, lime, ash and washed biochar on the growth of maize. A degraded, strongly acidic Ultisol (pHKCl 3.60), with a relatively ...
