Biochar, a charcoal-like material derived from plant biomass, has long been hailed as a promising tool for carbon dioxide ...

The researchers dug out soil, put it in piles and mixed biochar into half of them. They then set up 24 experimental plots and distributed the soil piles to them in a randomized experiment.

"In our field experiment, we mixed the soil with biochar and grew different plants. We found that biochar binds DDT efficiently, so that it is not taken up by soil organisms," says Paul Drenning ...

The researchers dug out soil, put it in piles and mixed biochar into half of them. They then set up 24 experimental plots and distributed the soil piles to them in a randomized experiment.

In parallel, they will explore how to scale up the experiment, to be able to mix biochar into the soil without having to dig out large volumes. Using biochar for treatment of contaminated soil is ...
