Has there been research published looking at a comparison of biochars based on specific feedstock origin? A question challenging the value of biochar produced from bark and slash as opposed to roundwo

This is an excellent idea. One of my Dovetail colleagues has done LCAs and shared with me the protocol is an ISO standard. Tom is on track saying it's a quality assurance check-off; they're highly reg

Received an inquiry from a Lake States SWCD interested in the potential role bichar could play in ag drainage management. Specifically, the nutrients moving in those systems. Can anyone point me to pu

Is anyone familiar with and/or following the legislation? If so, is biochar mentioned? What's happening with carbon credits or the like? House bill 7393 and Senate bill 3894 Thanks, H

I want to see if there are folks on the list considering submitting a WIG proposal? This year's priorities offer a lot of opportunities for biochar projects. As I'm currently responsible for a FY20 WI

As a follow-on to this question and the subsequent discussion: what happens to the biochar used in these situations? Is it left, possibly claimed as a carbon sink, but one to which the contaminate is

While this doesn't appear to have money attached to it, it may be useful for the biochar community to input, if only to raise awareness. Would something from USBI be appropriate? H ---------- Forwarde

Claudia, Thanks for your emphasis on the need for collaboration and cooperation. It's needed now (globally, tho particularly in the US!) and will be needed as an effective management tool increasingly

Raymond, (and others who may have interest) is this a potential project worthy of a Conservation Innovation Grant proposal? With the data and protocols coming from your work, it seems to be a good tim

Paul, for a project I'm working on with Va Tech and U MN soil scientists, the biochar for various plots was charged with bloodmeal (and water) prior to application. It wasn't horribly expensive and is

Norm, can you point me to research literature which has looked at the soil microbiota? I'm interested specifically in how biochar has (or hasn't) changed the soil flora. Thanks, H
