Biochar and bioenergy co-production can help combat global climate change by displacing fossil fuel use and by sequestering carbon in stable soil carbon pools. (biochar-international.org)
Warmer temperatures at high latitudes are already resulting more frequent Arctic fires, and unprecedented permafrost thaw is leaving large soil carbon pools exposed to smoldering fires for the fist time since ancient times. (dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com)
The entire permafrost soil carbon pool is estimated to contain 1700 PgC, about twice the mass of the carbon in the current atmosphere. (thinkprogress.org)
