List  and cc Andrew:

        Thanks again to Andrew for bringing these articles to our attention.  
In addition to Andrew’s cite below,  the full (free) article is at:

<https://www.geosci-model-dev-discuss.net/gmd-2017-168/gmd-2017-168.pdf>

        To summarize the article from a biochar perspective:  the word 
“biochar” appears once as a possible natural technology and in the title of one 
reference.  However, like BECCS, biochar is not one of the CDR approaches to be 
considered in this CDR-MIP.   The COP 21 and 22 emphases on soil carbon and the 
CDR opinions of agronomists and soil scientists will not be explored in this 
study.   Afforestation/reforestation is included as one of the three approaches 
for detail - so a part of biochar and BECCS will be there, but soil carbon 
content won’t change much in the models.

        The final pages have some potentially useful graphs.  I look forward to 
reading some new general CDR cites.
