[Terrapreta] Soil Food Web

[Philip Small]

My impression<http://transectpoints.blogspot.com/2007/01/teaming-with-microbes-arrived-today.html>is
that Soil
Foodweb's Elaine Ingham remains "unswervingly skeptical" of biochar. Her
point of view, last I heard, was that biochar, beyond a devastatingly high
C:N ratio, does not contribute to the soil food web. In my opinion her
endorsement is critically important to the acceptance of biochar as a
beneficial soil amendment by the general public.
