or Analytical Chemistry symposium: Environmental implications of biochar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Topics pertaining to all aspects of black carbon research are welcome and students are encouraged to submit abstracts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
