PermaMatrix™ replicates the ecology of fire without the flame in the addition of biochar. As a biotic soil amendment, PermaMatrix with biochar creates a recalcitrant soil carbon pool that is carbon-negative, serving as a net withdrawal of atmospheric carbon dioxide stored in highly recalcitrant soil carbon stocks. The enhanced nutrient retention capacity of biochar-amended PermaMatrix not only reduces the total fertilizer requirements but also the environmental impact of croplands. Char-amended soils have shown 50 – 80 percent reductions in nitrous oxide emissions and reduced runoff of phosphorus into surface waters and leaching of nitrogen into groundwater. As a soil amendment, PermaMatrix’s component EcoChar™ (biochar) significantly increases the efficiency of and reduces the need for traditional chemical fertilizers, while greatly enhancing crop yields.
