Abstract

Soil is the most important source and an abode for many nutrients and microflora. Due to rapid depletion of agricultural areas and soil quality by means of ever-increasing population and an excessive addition of chemical fertilizers, a rehabilitated attention is a need of the hour to maintain sustainable approaches in agricultural crop production. Biochar is the solid, carbon-rich material obtained by pyrolysis using different biomasses. It has been widely documented in previous studies that, the crop growth and yield can be increased by using biochar. This chapter exclusively summarizes the properties of biochar, its interaction with soil microflora, and its role in plant growth promotion when added to the soil.
生物炭:一种改善植物生长和土壤特性的可持续方法
土壤是许多养分和微生物最重要的来源和住所。由于人口的不断增加和化肥的过度使用使农业面积和土壤质量迅速枯竭,现在需要重新注意在农业作物生产中保持可持续的方法。生物炭是利用不同的生物质通过热解得到的富含碳的固体物质。在以前的研究中已经有广泛的文献证明,使用生物炭可以提高作物的生长和产量。本章专门综述了生物炭的特性、与土壤微生物区系的相互作用以及添加到土壤中促进植物生长的作用。
