RESEARCH PRIORITIES AND FUTURE CHALLENGES
Based on the results of this review, the following research priorities have been identified:
1) Determine a predictive relationship for properties and qualities of biochar and its
manufacture such that it can be optimised for use in soil.
2) Examine how the possibility of adverse impacts on the soil and atmosphere can be
eliminated with certainty.
3) Model the impact of alternate bioenergy systems on the carbon cycle at the global scale,
and in the context of national targets, in order to support policy decisions and devise
suitable market instruments.
Since the underlying context for biochar-based strategies is that of global climate change,
research needs to provide answers that are applicable under diverse combinations of
climate, agriculture and energy production systems. This requires a fundamental,
mechanistic understanding of how biochar provides its unique functional characteristics,
probably embodied in models, and would include its interactions with other living and nonliving
components of soil.
Globally coordinated research activity across a range of countries and climates is necessary
if the global applicability of knowledge gained is to be rigorously assessed
