Biochar is a carbon-rich organic substance produced by the pyrolysis of organic materials in the absence or presence of oxygen. It is an organic matter conditioner that can boost carbon sequestration and organic and inorganic pollutant immobilization. It is a crucial method for soil regeneration. Additionally, biochar facilitates increasing mineral supply and soil organic matter, resulting in soils with increased nutritional content. - Covers the latest evidence-based approach in the diagnosis and management of plants under abiotic stress - Includes easy-to-follow algorithms and key points - Proposes options for sustaining crop production under the effects of climate change
