HOW CAN BIOCHAR PROTECT AGRICULTURAL LAND FOR AGROUTOURISM FROM DROUGHT CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE?

Abstract

Due to climate change pursue, the necessity of building resilient farms becomes even more apparent. Farmers are more often dealing with intensive rainfall, floods and droughts. Many innovative soil water conservation methods have emerged and are being practiced all over the globe — some have been practiced for centuries and others are much newer. Most of these methods provide additional benefits as well, including soil conservation and improvement, enhanced biodiversity, and increased yields. Biochar is one of the materials to improve soil retention properties, water retention in land and landscape protection. The results of our research confirmed increased available soil water content in silt loam soil after biochar application.
