[Stoves] FW: SETAC Nashville, TN, 17-20 November 2013: Call for Abstracts

[Otto Formo]

Thanks for your reminder. I will copy professionals working on the subject in developing countries in Africa.  We are just promoteing the devices to produce char or biochar, if you like, to be used in a sustainable way to asssit smallhold farmers in developing countries to cater for their families in the sense of household cooking and farming, thats all. Kindly regards Otto

Call for Abstracts

SETAC North America 34th Annual Meeting
Nashville, TN, 17-20 November 2013
Environmental or Analytical Chemistry Track
“Environmental implications of biochar” symposium
You are invited to submit an abstract for the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry’s North America 34th Annual Meeting, 17-20 November 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee, for the Environmental
 or Analytical Chemistry symposium:  Environmental implications of biochar.
Abstracts are due by May 28, 2013.
Session Topic:  The application of biochar to soil has been proposed as a long-term sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide in terrestrial ecosystems while providing improved soil fertility and
 increased crop production with concurrent energy from and constructive use for waste biomass. However, variations in formation conditions and feedstock can produce biochar with wide ranges in characteristics, and subsequent field trials can then give mixed
 results. This session will explore environmental implications of incorporation of biochar into soil and related field studies, with factors such as crop yield, water and nutrient holding capacity, chemical sorption, and drought tolerance.
Topics pertaining to all aspects of black carbon research are welcome and students are encouraged to submit abstracts.
For meeting information go to the SETAC website under meetings at:
http://nashville.setac.org/node/28
We encourage you to submit abstracts as soon as possible.
Please forward this invitation to others who may be interested.
We look forward to seeing you there!
