Abstract
Healthy soils play a critical role in supporting healthy forests, serving as the foundation for roots and essential ecosystem processes. Biochar is a useful land management tool for improving soil health. Soil health is a soil’s ability to function as a living system, sustaining biological productivity, environmental quality, and the health of animals and humans. Healthy soils provide clean water, air, gaseous exchange, nutrient cycling, and hydrologic functioning.
