Biochar
According to the USDA ARS website, biochar is “black carbon produced from biomass sources (wood chips, plant residues, manure or other agricultural waste products) for the purpose of transforming the biomass carbon into a more stable form (carbon sequestration).” It can be useful due to it’s ability to absorb and hold elements, like water and nutrients, especially in the soil.
If you are interested in learning more about biochar and how to produce and/or use it, consider attending the upcoming biochar workshop at the Lone Peak Conservation Center in Draper, UT (see below). If you can’t attend the workshop, you can still brush up on biochar research by reading the factsheet “Biochar for Forest Restoration in Western States” which was recently released by USU Forestry Extension.
