Another biological positive carbon/climate feedback mechanism not in the models!

This would seem to be a problem that could completely or largely solved via the application of biochar.  True?

Hello, Ron

Agreed yet application on such a scale may be physically difficult using today's forestry practices, especially in the poorest regions. 

However, shipping container sized char stoves for use in the forest has had some work achieved here in the PNW yet getting the logging industry to adopt them is slow.

Covering decommissioned logging roads is the easiest forest use of char and that has shown good results yet, and again, getting the logging companies to pay for it is tough. I'm pressing Puget Sound Energy to use them in their forest management simply to prevent burned slash piles from flaring up months after the controlled burn. The stoves can help keep the controlled slash pile fire from moving below the surface, a large problem for them.

Best regards
