Santiago de Compostela UniversityPh.D Researcher, Agricultral and forestry science (Soil and Biochar)
Sep. 2021 - Dec. 2024Spain, LugoConducted thorough elemental lab tests on Galician forest waste, analyzing its chemical, physical, and biological properties to prepare it for biochar production.
Transformed forest waste into biochar and performed comprehensive chemical, physical, and biological tests to assess quality and suitability for soil application.
Monitored the biochar’s impact on nutrient leaching, water retention, and plant growth within a structured greenhouse experiment, providing measurable insights into its role in enhancing soil fertility and supporting plant production.
Findings confirmed biochar's effectiveness as a soil amendment, demonstrating its valuable role in improving soil health and long-term carbon sequestration.
