[Terrapreta] Publication list by topics

[chris braun]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply but this is not exactly the point. I know more  
or less where I can find references about biochar publications, and  
also that full text is usually not free. But what I am looking for is  
kind of an index such as the one at http://terrapreta.bioenergylists.org/biblio 
  but where documents are classified by topics. I agree that Wikipedia  
does that but in an "Indirect" way, i.e. you have to read all the text  
to find the info you are looking for and then follow the corresponding  
references, if provided (and you are still not sure it's a reliable  
scientific publi). Very unpractical and time-comsuming....

Sincerely yours,
Chris
