Scientists have observed that biochar, a material that the Amazonian Indians used to enhance soil fertility centuries ago, may help slow global climate change threatening the modern world.
Kelli Roberts and colleagues explained how Amazonian Indians' way of combining the charcoal and organic matter into the soil to improve soil fertility sparked interest in biochar's modern potential.
Health Effects of Global Warming
Greenhouse effect causes excessive heat to build up in the earth’s atmosphere causing global warming and affects the environment and health.
