2nd Nordic Biochar Seminar, Proceedings



The University of Helsinki Biochar team is proud to have hosted the 2nd Nordic Biochar Seminar, held in Helsinki at 14-15 February 2013- a milestone event in biochar research in Northern Europe with 95 participants from 14 countries!
We are happy to announce that many of the presentations and posters are now available on this site. The presenters wishing still to include their presentations to this list please contact Priit for further details.

We would also like to remind that the international peer-reviewed open access journal Agricultural and Food Science has invited the seminar  participants to submit their manuscripts to the special Biochar Issue of Agricultural and Food Science by 30 April 2013. More information and the instructions for the authors can be found on their website
