My name is João Nuno Gomes Vicente Canedo, and I am a researcher at the MED Research Center at the University of Évora. I hold two degrees—one in Zootechny and another in Agronomy—from the Santarém Polytechnic Institute, as well as a Master’s in Conservation Biology from the University of Évora.
My research focuses on the effects of mulch and biochar applications in improving degraded agricultural soils. Additionally, I investigate the potential of biochar to enhance soil carbon sequestration by assessing carbon stocks and fluxes.
My motivation to study these topics stems from my personal experience managing an agricultural company and my natural curiosity about innovative conservation practices. I believe that with sufficient research, biochar could become a powerful tool for soil conservation, carbon storage, and global warming mitigation.
