Sažetak
Use of agri-char has been recognized as a feasible climate change mitigation technology mainly by soil carbon sequestration and added to the pool of soil amendments to combat land degradation. From the agricultural aspects, biochars and hydrochars produced from different feedstocks are considered as a valuable source of nutrients. Hydrochar has been proven to be a less expensive and cheaper product in comparison to biochar, but the process of hydrochar generation is still in an experimental phase and should be certainly tailored in terms of feedstock characteristics and desired quality for specific application. Although a number of benefits of agri-char using as soil amendment have been claimed for specific soils so far, such as improved water and nutrient holding capacity, enhanced adsorption of contaminants, provision of favorable environment for soil biota and carbon sink, divers aspects of chars on soil remain still somewhat uncertain. The results of recent analysis on agri-char application in farming practice, and various column and field experiments indicate its great potential to managing specific soils purposefully, through considering feedstock characteristics and controlling hydrothermal carbonization process conditions. So, we review here the agri-char production process and conditions related to the feedstock characteristics. The aspects of environmental sustainability of agri-char-based soil amendments have been discussed as well.
