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 <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.
