What is Biochar?

Biochar is a fine grained, porous charcoal substance that, when used as a soil amendment, can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the soil, biochar provides a habitat for soil organisms, but is not itself consumed by them, and most of the applied biochar can remain in soil for several hundred to thousands of years. The biochar does not in the long-term disturb the carbon-nitrogen balance, but holds and makes water and nutrients available to plants. When used as a soil amendment along with organic and inorganic fertilizers, biochar significantly improves soil tilth, productivity, and nutrient retention and availability to plants.
