[Terrapreta] Praire is natures way of making terra preta.

[Brian Hans]

I have been musing about this statement for a while now. As far as I know, Ive coined it. 
   
  I think the hypothesis speaks for itself. After doing native restorations, mostly prairies for over 10 years, bio-char in small dose y/y seems quite likely to aid in the production of the luscious prairie soils 6ft+ deep. Infact, the prairie ecosystem is literally addicted to fire so bio-char is inevitable. I am going to bring this topic up to some of my prairie academics this fall but I was curious as to what the group thought?
