[Terrapreta] Interesting article

[folke Günther]

In the latest number of Sciene, (2 May), David Wardle, Marie-Charlotte
Nilsson och Olle Zackrisson delivers an article: "Fire-Derived Charcoal
Causes Loss of Forest Humus", where they claim that charcoal particles
remaining after fire increase the microbial activity so tey break down humic
particles at a rate that counteracts the carbon sequestration effect of the
carbon.
I haven't read the article myself, but I am interested in he content. I
asked David Warle for a pdf.
