Furthermore, it attracts beneficial microbes like endomycorrhizae that form mutualistic relationships with plant roots thereby increasing absorptive surface area and stress resistance. Waste materials that contain carbon such as nut shells, woody invasive plants, yard trimmings or corn cobs can all be turned into biochar.
