C. Title –Does biochar influence soil physical properties and soil water
availability

E. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects biochar could have on soil.
The study looked at how biochar could alter soil porosity which could
negatively impact vegetation growth due to less aerated soil. It also could
reduce the availability of ground water for human consumption. The study
revealed no evidence that biochar negatively impacted the soil.
Environmental, Soil, and Water Science is a constant effort to sustain
natural resources and protect them from factors that may have a negative
impact, this could be either naturally occurring or manmade.
