During this process, biomass is charred in the absence of air. When incorporated into soils, it permanently stores carbon. It can be used in a variety of ways in agriculture \u2013 as water retaining substance, a carrier for nutrients, and a habitat for microorganisms.<br \/>\nIn enhanced weathering of rocks its natural properties are used: CO<sub>2<\/sub> is dissolved in rainwater and corrodes the rock. This produces dissolved carbonate compounds in the water. This process can be deliberately enhanced \u2013 for example, by grinding the rock to very small grain sizes and exposing it to humid climate on agricultural land. The dust can also improve soil fertility and thus crop yields \u2013 because it supplies important nutrients such as potassium. The resulting carbonate compounds are transported by rivers to the sea, where they counteract ocean acidification.<br \/>\nThe PyMiCCS project (Pyrogenic carbon and carbonating minerals for enhanced plant growth and carbon capture and storage) now wants to find out whether the joint application of biochar and enhanced weathering has positive synergistic effects \u2013 for example, an improvement of soil properties.<br \/>\nBut what is smartest way to combine the two methods? Which type of rock or biochar is best suited? The researchers will investigate these questions in detail \u2013 first in the laboratory, later in the field and ultimately with the help of ecosystem models to calculate global potentials for CO<sub>2<\/sub> sequestration and soil improvement.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>is researching how to effectively combine biochar and rock flour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1419,"template":"","class_list":["post-2405","consortia","type-consortia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
