    Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich residue produced by thermochemical conversion (pyrolysis) of plant biomass and carbonaceous organic materials under oxygen-controlled conditions. Chars produced by this process tend to have high ion-exchange capacities and, when added to soil, increase retention of water and nutrients and improve soil aggregation, porosity, and...

Stimuli were high-frequency gated tone-bursts with center frequencies of 8, 10, 12, and 14 kilohertz (kHz). Examined rise-times were .1, .25, .5, and 1.0 milliseconds (msec). Duration was maintained at 2 msec....
