Biochar‐Based Fertilizer Is Cost‐Effective, Reduces Nutrient Input and Improves Nutrient Use Efficiency Without Decreasing Yield

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Co‐applying half‐rate BMC layer: (i) Reduced nutrient inputs and (ii) produced similar yield. ABSTRACT Developing high‐efficiency fertilizers with less environmental footprint is essential for sustainable cropping systems. This study evaluated a biochar mineral complex (BMC) to reduce nutrient leaching and increase nutrient use efficiency (NUE), yield,

From farm to field: testing different biocrust cultivation approaches and application techniques in the Sonoran Desert

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Drylands are among the most degraded ecosystems globally and are difficult to restore due to limited water availability. Biocrusts are a key component of maintaining soil stability and function in these systems. Since biocrust salvage opportunities are limited, cultivating salvaged biocrusts is a promising method.
