Global climate is undergoing significant changes due to extensive release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as CO and methane in the atmosphere. These gases are produced and released as a result of anthropogenic activities and fossil fuel burnings which also result in depletion of soil carbon resources. Biochar has various distinctive properties, which contribute to make it an effective, economical, and eco-friendly approach for soil carbon sequestration. The versatility in physicochemical properties of biochar provides an opportunity to optimize its efficacy to obtain desired benefits. A critical review of the literature indicates that biochar and plant growth-promoting microbes have the potential to improve soil organic carbon (SOC). Recent studies have depicted a significant role of the combined application of plant growth-promoting microbes and biochar on SOC dynamics. In future, these areas need to be explored as these have the potential to improve SOC dynamics and it could be a better strategy to sustain natural resources and ultimately mitigation of the climate change.
由于大气中二氧化碳和甲烷等温室气体(GHGs)的大量释放,全球气候正在发生重大变化。这些气体是由于人为活动和化石燃料燃烧而产生和释放的,这也导致了土壤碳资源的枯竭。生物炭具有各种独特的性质,使其成为一种有效、经济和环保的土壤碳封存方法。生物炭在物理化学性质上的多功能性为优化其功效以获得所需的效益提供了机会。对文献的批判性回顾表明,生物炭和植物生长促进微生物有可能改善土壤有机碳(SOC)。最近的研究表明,植物生长促进微生物和生物炭的联合应用对 SOC 动态具有重要作用。未来,这些领域需要进一步探索,因为它们有可能改善 SOC 动态,这可能是一种更好的策略,以维持自然资源并最终缓解气候变化。
