Chapters 2, 3, and 4 contain research results. Chapter 5 contains a general discussion where I have addressed methodological issues as well as the experimental design, included are further comments on the management practices of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) andTamale (northern Ghana) and also the potential of biochar in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
