Research has suggested that biochar soil amendments have the ability to improve soil water retention, but results have not been consistent or predictable across soil types. The objective of this project was to evaluate the potential for biochar soil amendments to mitigate agricultural drought by characterizing their impacts on soil hydraulics and plant growth across a range of agricultural soil conditions. This data set contains soil moisture retention curves and unsaturated hydraulic conductivities for four Oregon agricultural soils amended with biochar. Gasified biochars made from wheat straw (AgEnergy, Spokane, WA) and conifer wood (BioLogical, Philomath, OR) were tilled into soils at experimental stations in...

This repository contains source code for a set of decision support tools to be used for selecting a biochar type and application rate. The tool set includes: Biochar Property Explorer This tool allows users to compare the biochars in our database by graphing their physiochemical properties. We compiled laboratory- and commercially-produced biochars from PNW-relevant feedstocks and measured physiochemical properties related to fertilizer value, liming value, carbon sequestration, and particle size, following IBI-recommended protocols. These data are in the file BiocharData_PNWComputed.csv. Users can also enter test data for their own biochar to view its classification following the protocol developed by Camps Arbestain...

The objective of this project was to evaluate the potential for biochar soil amendments to mitigate agricultural drought by characterizing their impacts on soil hydraulics and plant growth across a range of agricultural soil conditions. This data set contains soil water infiltration measurements using Beerkan infiltration rings in four Oregon agricultural soils amended with biochar. Gasified biochars made from wheat straw (AgEnergy, Spokane, WA) and conifer wood (BioLogical, Philomath, OR) were tilled into soils at experimental stations in Madras (loam), Pendleton (silt loam), Aurora (sandy loam), and Klamath Falls (loamy sand). The biochars were incorporated by tillage in fall 2016 to a depth of 12 cm at rates...
