BIOCHAR APPLICATION IN MANURE MANAGEMENT: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, GAS EMISSIONS, AND NUTRIENT RETENTION
Manure management in intensive livestock production represents a major environmental challenge due to gas emissions, nutrient losses, and potential air and water pollution. Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced through biomass pyrolysis under limited oxygen conditions. It is used as an amendment in manure management systems due to its porous s...
