Biochar and Soil Biota, Hardcover by Ladygina, Natalia (EDT); Rineau, Francois (EDT), ISBN 1466576480, ISBN-13 9781466576483, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Researchers from biological, physical, and environmental sciences examine how the ecology and biology of soil organisms are affected by the addition of biochar, essentially charcoal, to the soils. They cover the stability of biochar in the environments, biochar impact of plant resistance to disease, biochar-fungi interactions in soils, the potential to remediate contaminated soils, studying the role of biochar using isotopic tracing techniques, the developing industry of designing specific biochars to address soil constraints, and a comparison of methods to apply biochar into temperate soils.
