Characterization and Mineralization Rates of Low Temperature Peanut Hull and Pine Chip Biochars

Biochar can potentially increase soil fertility and sequester carbon by incorporating nutrients and stable black carbon into the soil; however its effect on soil nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) processes is not well understood. A defined methodology to characterize biochar is necessary to predict how sp...
