“…Archaeological research has found an increase in the number and size of settlements with terra preta beginning around the second half of the 1 st millennium B.C. and believed to be associated with increased population and agricultural intensification (Moraes and Neves, 2012;Neves and Petersen, 2006;Neves et al, , 2004Petersen et al, 2001). Patches of ADE contrast dramatically with the highly-weathered, acidic, and nutrient-poor oxisols (Latossolos) and ultisols (Argissolos) that dominate the region and have limited agricultural use without high inputs of fertilizer or long fallow periods (Lehmann et al, 2003b;Glaser and Woods, 2004;Woods et al, 2009;Smith, 1980;Sanchez and Buol, 1975).…”

“…Ogawa et al, (1994), described that early Japanese farmers using unique manure called 'haigoe' prepared by adding human waste to rice husk biochar and leaving it for some time before planting crops. The discovery of Terra Preta (in Portuguese meaning -dark earth) soils in the central Amazon Basin implicates that biochar may be an ideal soil amendment for fertility improvement (Neves, 2001). Biochar may retain NH 4 -N. Steiner et al, (2008) reported increased recovery of 15N-labeled N fertilizer on charcoal-amended soil in comparison to soil without charcoal (Steiner, 2008).…”
