 The study conducted by the researchers has provided us with valuable insights into the global distribution of pyrogenic carbon in soil. The results suggest that pyrogenic carbon represents a significant portion of the soil organic carbon pool, ranging from 13.7% to 60%. This suggests that pyrogenic carbon should be taken into account when assessing the global carbon cycle. Additionally, the study also showed that pyrogenic carbon is highly correlated with soil properties such as clay content and alkalinity, suggesting that these factors may play a role in determining the amount of pyrogenic carbon present in soil.
