"Biochar-Remediation". This is the home for discussion devoted to technical issues concerning biochar use as a soil and environmental remediation technology.
This will be the place where words such as "runoff", "leaching", "decontamination" and "biostimulation" will be used.
This list will also be the pre-dominant location of terms such as "phytoremediation", "pollutants", "contamination", "surface water", "groundwater" and "aqifers" etc.

This list will encompass all possible scales of use in soil or on its own as a remediation agent or technology. The list will encourage discussion of all possible geographic areas - and all possible forms of remediation techologies that might use or benefit from biochar. Discussion of biochar for use in phytoremediation/bioremediation will be encouraged.

The type of "characterization" (the physical attributes of the biochar) that will be focused on in this list will be those that benefit the field of remediation. When there is a need to discuss char-in-remediation project characterization that impacts char production, that is appropriate for the Biochar-Production Group. The reverse will also true. Policy and economic issues related solely to biochar use as a remediation technology are appropriate here.
