Background Information:
Paragraph #1 of the background will include information about biochar.
- What is biochar?
- How is biochar made?
- What are the benefits of biochar both to plants/agriculture and the ecosystem?
- Does biochar have any negative qualities?
- What research has been done on the impact of biochar on plant growth in different soil types? (In other words, is it effective in all soil types? Explain.)
Paragraph #2 of the background should include the following general information about your plant. Find the answers to at least 15 of these questions. You must answer questions 1-13.
- Scientific name
- Common name
- Physical description –what does it look like?
- Germination time
- Planting instructions
- Flowering time and bloom time (spring, summer or fall)
- Annual, biennial or perennial
- Growing season
- Average height
- Water needs
- Nutrient needs
- Soil type (sandy, loam, clay, not particular)
- Soil moisture (a. mesic: moist, adequate soil moisture retention year round sub-xeric: moist to dry, seasonally moist, periodically dry c. xeric: dry and drought resistant, little moisture retention)
- Effect of wind
- Type of pollination (wind, insect, animal, other—be specific)
- Importance of this plant to the ecosystem, insects, animals…
- Major uses of the plant
- Montana Indian cultural and medicinal use of the plant
