I read the same articles, and this does seem to have potential in multiple fields - reducing carbon emissions, potentially increasing soil quality and hence crop yields (although I do believe this is specific to certain types of soil) - which may indirectly reduce the requirement for some types of fertilizer. And one of the amazing things of the "terra preta" of the amazon is that it seems to regenerate itself - unlike modern fertilizing which is generally required annually - this may indeed make it a disruptive technology from ~2500 years ago!
