"Addressing The Policy Implications Of Potential Abrupt Climate Change: A Leading Role For Bio-Energy", Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, 11/2, 395-419.available in all good libraries.  He and his clooeague contributed valuably to the discussions at the expert workshop where that paper was presented in the fall of 2004.

  Hello,




    I am more impressed with lectures and publications of Dr Ogawa. It would be interesting if she weighed in to the discussion and expressed herself rather than a third party. My feeling though is she only talks to paying clients.

  Who is Dr Ogawa ?


  Sincerely yours,
  Christelle

    I attended a lecture by Dr Ingham. 4 hours, a very impressive speaker and deep knowledge of microbes in soil. Promotes compost tea. She is a consultant to industrial scale organic agriculture in California.

      Hello,


        In my opinion her endorsement is critically important to the acceptance of biochar as a beneficial soil amendment by the general public.
      Who is this Elaine Ingham precisely ? Is she that famous ? 


      Sincerely yours,

        My impression 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.

          For those who may not be aware, the Soil Foodweb is a very valid organisation dedicated to soil analysis and improvement. www.soilfoodweb.com



          The following is a brief report from the Australian branch, with mention of Carbon sequestration but they don't see to have focussed yet on the use of charcoal. I'd suggest that they could be useful allies.
