"Initially, biochar application produced inconsistent effects. Several
early samples produced greater nitrous oxide emissions and nitrate
leaching than the control samples.
However, during the third wettingdrying cycle, four months after
biochar application, all biochars reduced nitrous oxide emissions by up
to 73%, and reduced ammonium leaching by up to 94%. The researchers
suggest that reductions in nitrous oxide emissions and nitrogen leaching
over time were due to ³ageing² of the biochars in soil."

thanks Bill, i'm always interested in dirty news.
when visiting my Dad the other day he handed me a
book called _The Lost City of Z_, quite a fun read
and i'm sure glad i wasn't an Amazon explorer. i'd not
have lasted more than a few hours...
though it is good to read that the candiru is really not
what the book makes it out to be, still a rather squirmy
read in parts.

like wheeling out the good old slash and burn technology under a
different light?
they never mention the pollution caused in making the stuff once put
into the atmosphee can't be taken back (smoke and gasses not
contained), nor the transporation of it from point of making to where
it is to be used and also the transporting etc.,. of trees to the burn
site, also the preassure put on forests this becomes another reason to
deal in deforestation.
icing does make the cake hey?
the picture on this site speaks a thousand words:

also see my page for pic's of homemade incinerators all in the name of
bio-char (quiet a back yard industry burgeoning to make and supply
like to other gardeners):

You snipped so well that all I know is your involved with Jesus.
Slash and burn worked and it may offer some useful alterative. You
seem hyper.
