December 2024 - 8 articles

Cover Story: This issue is titled “Rethinking Biochar’s Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) Systems”. The paper explores the transformative potential of biochar, a product of biomass pyrolysis, as a soil amendment and a tool for climate mitigation. It rethinks Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems for biochar by integrating agronomic and organic chemistry indicators, including functional groups, soil organic carbon stocks, and nutrient dynamics. The proposed framework enhances the usability of biochar for tailored soil applications while identifying critical gaps in current MRV methodologies. It aims to advance sustainable agricultural practices and improve environmental accountability. View this paper
