Biochar is a type of charcoal produced by heating organic materials, such as wood or plant waste, in a low-oxygen environment, a process called pyrolysis. Biochar has the potential to both reduce the risk of wildfire, serve as a soil amendment, improve tree growth and response, and provide forest carbon cycle benefits. Its use and adoption can serve to reduce fire risk and restore soils after a fire.
