Details: Biochar Ecotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture and Environment summarizes current accomplishments in biochar ecotechnologies for enhancing agricultural production, encouraging sustainable waste management, and fostering a circular bioeconomy by advancing the pyrolysis process at both large-scale industrial and small-scale-local levels. Chapters in the book synthesize recent breakthroughs in biochar agro-ecotechnologies for increasing agricultural productivity and promoting circular bioeconomy by advancing the pyrolysis process and add mechanisms involved in biochar-fertilizer mediated in-soil biogeochemical cycle and nutrients retention, availability and their losses, soil-microbial responses, emission of greenhouse gases, and plant responses.

Finally, this book aims to increase research understanding of nanotechnological breakthroughs in the production of biochar-based slow-release fertilizers, including their Nano characteristics involved in increasing fertilizer usage efficiency and managing chemical losses, for sustainable agriculture and the environment. Describes the benefits of biochar in uplifting circular bioeconomy through sustainable waste management practices Discusses cutting-edge approaches for investigating biochar, plant, and environment interactions, including the use of biochar to improve soil fertility, biological functioning, and plant responses Summarizes nanotechnological breakthroughs in the synthesis and qualities of producing biochar-based slow-release fertilizer via pre and post-pyrolysis changes Provides a grasp of the Nano characteristics of biochar that are engaged in boosting fertilizer usage efficiency and managing chemical losses
