Explorando o potencial do biochar na produção de mudas para recuperação de áreas degradadas e seu impacto no sequestro de carbono: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

This literature review aimed to analyze published works on the technique of producing seedlings with biochar and its relation to carbon sequestration. The concepts of biochar, its benefits for soil and plants, as well as its relationship with carbon sequestration were addressed. The research was conducted on electronic databases, including the Capes and SciElo platforms, using the terms "biochar", "produção de mudas", and "sequestro de carbono" in Portuguese and "biochar", "seedling production", and "carbon sequestration" in English.Five studies that addressed the use of biochar in seedling production for the restoration of degraded areas and its impact on carbon sequestration were selected. The analysis of the studies showed that the use of biochar can be a promising strategy to increase carbon sequestration in planted forests.
