Session Description: Significant progress has made in recent years on development and application of functionalized biochar for agricultural and environmental applications. This session will provide a platform for researchers to present and discuss recent discoveries, development and application of functionalized biochars through different approaches including organic, inorganic and biological modifications. The topics covered include, but are not limited to:fundamental approach/mechanism of biochar functionalization, application aspect of functionalized biochars, ecotoxicity evaluation of functionalized biochars as well as life cycle assessment of functionalized biochars. This session will end with the Biochar Communities Student Lightning Talk/Poster Competition.
