Biochar added to soils can either increase or decrease carbon release. Different biochars affect carbon mineralization differently. Grass biochars at low temperatures stimulate carbon release early on, while hardwood biochars at high temperatures suppress it later. Soil organic matter interacts with biochar, enhancing carbon storage in the long term.
