Biochar as a climate change mitigation strategy

Biochar production is an alternative method for reducing forest slash and is a viable climate change mitigation strategy. Reducing forest slash through biochar production alleviates many of the air quality and soil health issues that may result from traditional fuel reduction methods. To mitigate climate change effects on drought, wildfire, and other processes, biochar is one tool that can be used across many types of sites to store carbon in the soil immediately.
