Biochar for Tree Growth and Water Quality: Exploring Potential in Urban and Disturbed Soils
Tuesday, December 17, 2024, Noon (CST)
Dr. Rebecca Abney and Julia Campbell will be presenting their findings and research funded through Tree and Soil Research Fund Grant Program. CEUs will be available for this webinar.
Biochar is a soil amendment that is broadly described to improve a number of soil deficiencies, however it is not universally recommended. We present results from a handful of studies investigating methods and rates of application of biochar in urban soils. We will discuss how our study trees responded to different biochar applications and how each of these combinations impacted water quality. We will also discuss best practices for using biochar and which soils would benefit the most. We will also discuss best management practices for using biochar to improve urban stormwater quality.
Registration will be open approximately three weeks prior
