Anthropogenic soil degradation undermines essential ecosystem services such as food production, water purification, nutrient cycling and climate regulation. Unsustainable agricultural practices are among the main causes of through pollution, loss consequently lowering organic matter nutrients. Adopting innovative solutions for agriculture management by adding low-decomposable amendments to soil, hydrochar, can help reverse degradation. Hydrochar, derived from hydrothermal carbonization...
Hydrochar, carbon-rich material produced during the thermochemical processing of biomass, is receiving increased attention due to its potential value as soil amendment. It can increase agroforestry systems’ productivity through direct and indirect effects on growth quality. Hydrochar may also directly help mitigate climate change by sequestering stable carbon compounds in perhaps indirectly C uptake trees. In this research, we aim evaluate how application hydrochar two feedstock types,...
Soil, an indispensable component of natural capital, provides essential ecosystem services like food production, climate regulation, and nutrient cycling. However, agriculture, spanning roughly 33% Earth's land surface, poses a significant threat to soil integrity functionality, because it could cause the loss organic matter, pollution alteration physical properties. According UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, resilient agricultural practices that progressively improve quality must...
