"We're sequestering carbon that's important for helping to combat climate change."
@TomBott10 from the university's Biochar Demonstrator appeared on @SkyNews' The Climate Show discussing the benefits of biochar.

Good to speak to @SkyNews about trials we’re conducting as part of @TheBiocharDemo to assess the potential of biochar as a GGR technique & soil amendment in agricultural soils.

Soil sampling at the small-scale experimental plots for the @TheBiocharDemo. These plots are exploring different biochars, with repeated annual applications, on arable fields. Amazing weather for January!!

Our soil sampling is now underway on our trial fields!
We deployed #biochar at 10 t/ha on arable and pasture fields across England, and will be monitoring over the next 3+ years to uncover the impact biochar has on our soils!

Applying #biochar in front of direct drilled winter wheat as part of @TheBiocharDemo.
What role can #biochar play in improving soil health & increasing soil carbon sequestration? 🤷

Two hours digging condensed into little more than 30 seconds #starsoil @Soil_Science @STARScdt xitter.cf/jacklort/status/991401…
Interesting soil classification workshop with @STARScdt @ProfPHaygarth and @Soil_Science. Digging trial pits is knackering! #starsoil
