Welcome to SBRG at the Soil Sciences Department
Saudi Biochar Research Group (SBRG) was initiated after the revolution of Biochar to lead the research of Biochar by exploring its potential implications specifically in dry and semi-dry lands, and alkaline soils. SBRG research team includes national and international professional researchers, professors, and students. SBRG is working on multi-disciplinary aspects of pyrolysis, biochar production, materials engineering/designing, environmental (soil and water) pollution remediation, and climate change mitigation.
Biochar (BC) was produced by pyrolyzing the date palm leaf waste at 600 C and then loaded with phosphorus (P) via sorption process. Greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate...
In most arid and semiarid soils, naturally occurring phosphorus (P) is a major yield limiting plant nutrient. In this study, a calcareous sandy loam alkaline soil was fertilized with...
Bio-calcite (BC) derived from waste hen eggshell was subjected to thermal treatments (calcined bio-calcite (CBC)). The BC and CBC were further modified via magnesiothermal treatments to...
