- Abstract:
- Biochar obtained from thermochemical conversion of biomass reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves the physicochemical and microbial properties of soil and absorbs pernicious substances. In addition, applying biochar in agriculture helps to significantly reduce the water consumption for irrigation, an important issue for Aguascalientes, a semidesertic site in the center of Mexico. Therefore, declaring the benefits by applying biochar to soils and estimating the minimum biomass and biochar potential of Aguascalientes is the key issue of this paper.
