Developing a reliable model of biochar behaviour in northern forest soils
Understanding the fate of biochar in boreal soils is critical in order to develop appropriate
application rates and carbon credits. Accurate models of biochar stability and carbon density
are required for proper carbon accounting. The intent of this study is to model the long term
stability of charcoal in northern forest soils. We will utilize a combination of existing and new
trials to develop Boreal specific turnover rates and an existing 200 year post-fire
chronosequence of forest stands to calibrate and validate the model outcomes. Development
of the model will form the basis of early carbon credit estimates for our partners and aid in the
development of a carbon sequestration market.
