Popis: This study observed the effect of pyrolyzed materials (biochar) from plant residues, horse manure, and feces on tree substrate properties, birch tree health and growth over a period of 322 days. The results show that each of these biochars complies with the European Biochar Certificate (EBC) guidelines set forth by the EBC and no toxic heavy metals were detected. The biochar substrates enhanced the survival rate of the experimental birch trees.
