Provided is a class of functional soil amendment a C:N ratio that does require a cascading effect to produce solid organic matter and improve porosity. This results in superior carbon capture.

The present disclosure provides a woody plant seeding formulation for phytoremediation, ecological restoration, land reclamation, environmental rehabilitation, revitalization, revegetation, and reforestation of disturbed and degraded lands. The seeding formulation includes a mix of woody trees or shrubs seeds, organic mulch, beneficial microbial populations, mineral fertilizer, adhesive, absorbent polymer, and water. The present disclosure also provides for pre-treatment of surfaces by spreading or mixing with organic biomass with the surface. Methods of preparing and applying the seeding formulation and pre-treatment are also disclosed.

Disclosed herein is a treatment unit comprising a housing and a mesh container. The housing has one or more than one inlet and one or more than one outlet. The mesh container is received in the housing and comprises a mesh surface with a plurality of holes therethrough. The mesh container is configured to receive a solid material and solution flowing into the housing through the inlet passes through the plurality of holes and contacts the solid material before flowing out of the housing through the outlet. The treatment unit may be used to produce treated biochar.

A composition including a plant medium and a poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide that comprises a clathrate containing oxygen gas molecules. The poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide may comprise of a poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide. The composition may include one or more nutrients. The composition may be in a solid form, a fluid form, or a combination thereof. The poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is soluble in a fluid. In one embodiment, the poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide composition may have particles having a diameter of 212 μm or less, and which may be homogeneous.

A container for growing a plant. The container includes at least one container wall having a surface, the container wall having one or more light reflective and/or refractive members attached thereto. The one or more light reflective and/or refractive members may include one or more silicate microbeads that are buffered to neutrality. The container may contain a plant, and the one or more light reflective and/or refractive members may be positioned in the container to redistribute light toward the plant, and may be present in an amount effective to cause harmful light saturation of the plant. To safen the plant from such harmful light, the container also may contain one or more glycopyranosidic compounds, such as one or more alkyl-α-D-mannosides.
