The ability to improve soil quality has been most dramatically demonstrated
in the *Terra Preta* ("dark earth") soils of South America, where fertile
islands of char-containing soils, dating back thousands of years, are found
throughout *...*

Okay, skeptics, get cracking: I read this article on gasification/*terra

this chap's come up with something really, honest-to-Pete viable as a cheap
alternative *...*

 *Terra Preta* for Carbon
Reduction<http://feeds.greenoptions.com/%7Er/GreenOptions/%7E3/171204092/terra_preta_for_carbon_reduction>

The *terra preta* has a high level of nutrients, with three times the
nitrogen and phosphorus and twenty times the carbon of normal soils. But
producing fertilizer is not even the most interesting part of agrichar. *...

"Impossible!" you say. "Even wind and solar have carbon emissions from their
manufacturing, and biofuels are carbon neutral at best. How can a fuel be
carbon negative?" But listen to people working on gasification and *terra

 By Xavier Navarro
*Terra preta* is a very interesting type of soil that you can find in the
Amazon, and is supposedly manmade. Although it's unknown how it was made
before the Europeans arrived, there's a modern method to obtain it: burn
biomass so it's *...*

 Negative Carbon

 By Adam Clare
Because *terra preta* locks so much carbon in the soil, it's also a form of
carbon sequestration that doesn't involve bizarre heroics like pumping CO2
down old mine shafts. What's more, it may reduce other greenhouse gases as
well as *...*
