Charcoal in the environment
Convener: A. C. Scott 

This session is concerned with both natural and anthropogenic charcoal, including biochar. Studies of charcoal formation, characterization including methodological developments, transport, burial in soils, peats and sediments, and diagenesis are all welcome. We will also consider aspects of the uses of charcoal, both modern and ancient, including wildfire history, as an element of soil and soil processes as well as a mechanism for reducing atmospheric CO2 through burial.
