Call for Abstracts
SETAC North America 34th Annual Meeting

Nashville, TN, 17-20 November 2013

Environmental or Analytical Chemistry Track

"Environmental implications of biochar" symposium

You are invited to submit an abstract for the Society of Environmental 
Toxicology and Chemistry's North America 34th Annual Meeting, 17-20 November 
2013, in Nashville, Tennessee, for the Environmental or Analytical Chemistry 
symposium:  Environmental implications of biochar.

Abstracts are due by May 28, 2013.

Session Topic:  The application of biochar to soil has been proposed as a 
long-term sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide in terrestrial ecosystems while 
providing improved soil fertility and increased crop production with concurrent 
energy from and constructive use for waste biomass. However, variations in 
formation conditions and feedstock can produce biochar with wide ranges in 
characteristics, and subsequent field trials can then give mixed results. This 
session will explore environmental implications of incorporation of biochar 
into soil and related field studies, with factors such as crop yield, water and 
nutrient holding capacity, chemical sorption, and drought tolerance.

Topics pertaining to all aspects of black carbon research are welcome and 
students are encouraged to submit abstracts.

For meeting information go to the SETAC website under meetings at:

We encourage you to submit abstracts as soon as possible.

Please forward this invitation to others who may be interested.

We look forward to seeing you there!
