Dear Friends,

After much expansion and refinement, the final copy (Version 2) of the
“All Biochars…” paper has been released back to the NABC (NorthAmerica
Biochars Conference, Boulder Colorado, August 2009) for inclusion in
their proceedings.

As such, the final version of this document, provided in two formats.
One is in MS Word ( .doc ) and allows readers to access the underlying
spreadsheets – it emails at about 3.5 megs. The other version is All-
Biochars–Version2–Oct2009.pdf- much smaller at about 1.5 megs.

The document has 36 pages including 17 figures and three main
conclusions. The contents are a blend of technical topics and basic/
common sense comments, including some “do-it-yourself” methods about
making and analyzing biochars. It is a “contribution,” but is not
intended to be all encompassing about biochar characteristics.

This document in either or both formats may be distributed to
colleagues and (without alterations) may be placed onto Websites to
facilitate distribution.

This was a group effort by co-authors McLaughlin, Anderson, Shields
and Reed who welcome further discussion but who do not intend to alter
this document. Instead, we encourage others to present additional
documents that give further progress to specific issues of interest.

On behalf of the co-authors,

Paul
