Stephen Joseph,Marta Camps-Arbestain,Yun Lin,Paul Munroe,C. H. Chia,James M. Hook,L. Van Zwieten,Stephen Kimber,Annette Cowie,Bhupinder Pal Singh,Johannes Lehmann,N. Foidl,Ronald J. Smernik,James E. Amonette +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review describes the properties of biochar and suggests possible reactions that may occur after the addition of biochars to soil, including dissolution-precipitation, adsorption-desorption, acid-base, and redox reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition and bioavailability of thermally altered Pinus resinosa (Red pine) wood
Jeff Baldock,Ronald J. Smernik +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship between changes in chemical composition and biological inertness of char C created in the laboratory by heating Pinus resinosa sapwood to temperatures between 70 and 350°C was quantified in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of quantification methods to measure fire-derived (black/elemental) carbon in soils and sediments using reference materials from soil, water, sediment and the atmosphere

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a comprehensive intercomparison of this type (multimethod, multilab, and multisample), focusing mainly on methods used for soil and sediment BC studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochar carbon stability in a clayey soil as a function of feedstock and pyrolysis temperature.
TL;DR: Strong relationships of biochar C stability with the initial proportion of nonaromatic C and degree of aromatic C condensation in biochar support the use of these properties to predict biocharC stability in soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical and structural properties of carbonaceous products obtained by pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation of corn stover
Antonio B. Fuertes,M. Camps Arbestain,Marta Sevilla,Juan Antonio Maciá-Agulló,Sarah Fiol,R. López,Ronald J. Smernik,W. Aitkenhead,Florencio Arce,Felipe Macías +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the main properties of corn stover-produced biochar, either by pyrolysis at 550°C or by hydrothermal carbonisation (to produce hydrochar), were studied.
