<p>Biochar, also known as black carbon, is a product derived from organic materials rich in carbon (C) and is found in soils in very stable solid forms, often as deposits. Biochars can persist for long periods of time in the soil at various depths, typically thousands of years. The most common example is charcoal, derived from wood. Similarly, the Terra Preta soils of the Amazon Basin are one of the more widely known examples of biochar. -- <a href="http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ss585">An Introduction to Biochars and Their Uses in Agriculture</a></p>

<p>El biochar en ingl&eacute;s, conocido tambi&eacute;n como carb&oacute;n negro, carb&oacute;n vegetal o biocarb&oacute;n, es un producto derivado de materiales org&aacute;nicos ricos en carb&oacute;n (C), se encuentra en el suelo en formas s&oacute;lidas muy estables, frecuentemente en sitios donde se ha depositado. El carb&oacute;n vegetal puede permanecer por largos per&iacute;odos en el suelo en diferentes profundidades, generalmente miles de a&ntilde;os. El ejemplo m&aacute;s com&uacute;n de este carb&oacute;n vegetal es el derivado de la madera. As&iacute; tambi&eacute;n, los suelos de Terra Preta de la Cuenca Amaz&oacute;nica son unos de los ejemplos m&aacute;s conocidos de este carb&oacute;n vegetal. -- <a href="http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ss585">An Introduction to Biochars and Their Uses in Agriculture</a></p>
