Biochar for Mitigating Abiotic Stress in Plants provides a unique and leading resource for utilizing biochar to address specific plant health challenges, including osmotic, ionic, and oxidative stress. With a focus on crop yielding plants, the book provides targeted application insights to improve plant health, and resulting crop production. Readers will find important tools toward the identification, treatment, and management of a variety of abiotic stressors through the effective and appropriate application of biochar. This is an important reference for those seeking to apply current knowledge and an inspiration for further research in the area. Biochar is a carbon-rich organic substance produced by the pyrolysis of organic materials in the absence or presence of oxygen. It is an organic matter conditioner that can boost carbon sequestration and organic and inorganic pollutant immobilization. It is a crucial method for soil regeneration. Additionally, biochar facilitates increasing mineral supply and soil organic matter, resulting in soils with increased nutritional content.
