What makes biochar a good carrier for microbes and nutrients?
Next week IBI Executive Director Luisa MarΓn will present on this exact topic!

Pretty impressive 14C-13C-dual labeling study in your thesis - @jhenkhar.bsky.social: Very curious for this one getting published. Another prove of rather millenia than centuries time-scales for charcoal degradation, confirming it is really a long-lasting nature based solution for CO2-sequestration.

#EcoFuture | First Joint #FarmTour π±
The #EcoFuture team visited #ReallaborKastanienhof (uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet...) and #Kleinhohenheim agricultural experiment station (oeko.uni-hohenheim.de/en/66107) to officially launch the project.
π‘ Stay tuned for updates and follow our journey!
New research shows optimized straw-derived biochar could reduce cropland nitrous oxide emissions by up to ~50%. Using machine learning and spatial modeling, scientists reveal that climate, soil, and farming practices all shape how biochar works.

π’ JOB ALERT: we have our first offer - a fantastic #PhD opportunity @unihohenheim.bsky.social with Christian Poll:
You want to isotopically trace the fertilizer's N pool? Characterize #biochar quality? Assess the short-& long-term implications for #crop performance & #stress resistance?
APPLY NOW!
Ha - this is pretty similar to EcoFuture's motivation: fruit production in π©πͺ produces pruning material and old, long grass - both ideal substrates for long-term #carbon sequestration ( #CDR ). Amended with a nutrient source, we follow the same approach returning pyrolyzed organic matter to soils π.

Join us in Norwich for an intensive, interactive 1.5-week Summer Conference at TSL (20β31 July). Lots of opportunities for networking and deep discussions.
(We also plan to offer hands-on practical sessions using our technologies π¬π§¬)
Can agricultural waste clean our water?
This study shows that biochar made from corn cobs can remove up to 98% of micro/nanoplastics and ~64% of ammonia from water, with no detectable PAH release and good reusability.

Greatest thanks goes to the @mwk-bw.bsky.social for supporting our concept, the @unituebingen.bsky.social for the establishment of the "Reallabor" at the Kastanienhof (uni-tuebingen.de/de/290778) and to @unihohenheim.bsky.social for providing us access to the farm #Kleinhohenheim. Stay tuned π’
Our target is to close local #nutrient cycles. For this, we foster the production of our new #fertilizer EcoFuture KAP4, consisting of #biochar, #biogas digestate, #fungal spores & long gras as matrix.
@iraloginova.bsky.social coordinates our team!
Stay tuned for first impressions and #job offers.
