PhD Oral Defense: The influence of wood-derived biochar on physico-mechanical and hydraulic characteristics of agricultural soils: Implications for machine鈥搒oil interactions and carbon sequestration
PhD Oral Defense of Ahmed Ahmed, Bioresource Engineering
Biochar has gained research interest because of its high pore volume and adsorption capacity and鈥攚hen applied as an agricultural soil amendment鈥攁bility to enhance soil nutrient- and water-holding capacities. In addition to increasing soil quality, biochar amendments sequester carbon within the soil. In most applications, crop productivity significantly increases after agricultural soils are amended with biochar. However, the mechanisms behind this increase are not fully understood, nor is the influence of biochar on soil compaction. Therefore, this laboratory study focuses on the influences of wood-derived biochar (WBC) on the physico-mechanical properties of agricultural soils prone to compaction.
