This embarks the first post of many throughout the quarter. My focus is biochar and the effects it has on soil, soil biota, and vegetation. Not only can biochar have an effect on these aspects of agriculture, but it can also help to mitigate climate change. Attached are just a few pages of notes from what may soon be considered a novel of information. Luckily I have a great opportunity to work with some
great friends and faculty on the matter which I’m sure will help navigate the mountain of information we plan to summit. My background in biochar is very limited, for now. As you can see from the first few pages of notes they pertain to the basic understandings of what biochar is and how exactly it can change soil positively or negatively. The biochar group collectively is working to better understand the characteristics of biochar and determine under what parameters do we produce the safest, most effective soil amendment. To all my other classmates, I hope you enjoy following along and as always, input is greatly appreciated.
