<span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;'>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.</span><BR>
<span style='color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 16pt;'>Abstracts are due by May 28, 2013.</span><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;'></span><BR>
<span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;'>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.</span><BR>
<span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;'>Topics pertaining to all aspects of black carbon research are welcome and students are encouraged to submit abstracts.</span><BR>
