- Effects of Feedstock Type and Pyrolysis Duration on Functional Properties of Biomass-Derived Charred Materials Under Low-Temperature Pyrolysis (2026) · C – Journal of Carbon Research · doi
Low-temperature pyrolysis around 250 °C represents a mild carbonization that differs from conventional high-temperature biochar production, and the role of pyrolysis duration under mild thermal conditions remains insufficiently understood.

Further research is needed to understand the long-term effects of biochar on microbial necromass carbon. Investigating the impact of different pyrolysis temperatures on biochar properties and MNC accumulation is necessary. Studying the mechanisms behind the attenuation of priming and the onset of stabilization processes like aggregate formation is required.
