Pyrogenic Carbon Lacks Long-Term Persistence in Temperate Arable Soils

Pyrogenic Carbon Lacks Long-Term Persistence in Temperate Arable Soils

Pyrogenic organic carbon (PyOC) derived from incomplete burning of biomass is considered the most persistent fraction of soil organic carbon (SOC), being expected to remain in soil for centuries. However, PyOC persistence has seldom been evaluated under field conditions. Based on a unique set of soi...
