What is the importance of biochar to the health of the environment and what impact can a book about the topic have on the way soils are managed in the 21^st century?

In a live, hybrid Chats in the Stacks book talk, Cornell professor of soil and crop sciences Johannes Lehmann will address both questions as he discusses “Biochar for Environmental Management: Science, Technology and Implementation,” co-edited with fellow leading figure in the field, Stephen Joseph, professor of material science and engineering at the University of New South Wales. Now in its third edition (Routledge, 2024), “Biochar” is a systematic, comprehensive, and global examination of using black carbon produced from biomass sources to both improve soil health and sequester carbon. Lehmann will discuss lessons learned from publishing the book's  third edition, and touch on general recommendations for considering book publications for research. 

This talk is hosted by Mann Library. Light refreshments will be served.
