In about 500 B.C., indigenous people in the Amazon began using pyrogenic carbon to increase soil fertility in nutrient-poor jungle soils. Pyrogenic carbon is the material produced by burning biomass — ...

Pyrogenic carbon, a carbon rich material produced when biomass burns or is converted into biochar, is widely found in soils, sediments, and aquatic environments around the world. Scientists have long ...

Pyrogenic carbon is widely produced during the incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels on land. About one-third of pyrogenic carbon is exported to the ocean by rivers, and thereinto, the ...

Wildfires leave behind large swathes of blackened earth when they raze a landscape. That charred material contains a host of molecules that could continue to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere ...
