Optimizing Biochar Particle Size for Plant Growth and Mitigation of Soil Salinization
Pyrolyzed waste biomass, or biochar, has been suggested as a means to increase plant growth and mitigate soil salinization, which is a widespread agricultural issue and can reach extreme levels in urban soils impacted by de-icing salts. Soil mixing is enhanced by reduced biochar particle size; howev...
