Journal Article
Gamaralalage, D., Rodgers, S., Gill, A., Meredith, W., Bott, T., West, H., Alce, J., Snape, C., & McKechnie, J. (2025). Biowaste to biochar: a techno-economic and life cycle assessment of biochar production from food-waste digestate and its agricultural field application. Biochar, 7(1), Article 50. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42773-025-00456-0

Biochar has high potential for long-term atmospheric carbon storage in terrestrial environments, contributing to meeting the UK and global greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. This study investigates the greenhouse gas emissions and techno-econ...

Biochar application to temperate grasslands: challenges and opportunities for delivering multiple ecosystem services (2023)
Journal Article
Brown, R. W., Chadwick, D. R., Bott, T., West, H. M., Wilson, P., Hodgins, G. R., Snape, C. E., & Jones, D. L. (2023). Biochar application to temperate grasslands: challenges and opportunities for delivering multiple ecosystem services. Biochar, 5(1), Article 33. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42773-023-00232-y

Grasslands (natural, semi-natural and improved) occupy approximately one-third of the terrestrial biosphere and are key for global ecosystem service provision, storing up to 30% of soil organic carbon (SOC). To date, most research on soil carbon (C)... Read More about Biochar application to temperate grasslands: challenges and opportunities for delivering multiple ecosystem services.
