...The pure benefits of biochar to plant-based remediation may be related to enhanced plant growth as liming effects, increased water holding capacity and improved soil structure have been reported after the amendment of agricultural soils with biochars (Blackwell et al., 2009; Atkinson et al., 2010; Sohi et al., 2010), all of which are material conditions conducive to plant success....

...In the recent literature the benefits associated with applying biochars to soils beyond their high C content, such as their soil conditioning properties have been reported (Novak et al., 2009; Yin Chan and Xu, 2009; Blackwell et al., 2009; Atkinson et al., 2010 and Sohi et al., 2010)....

...Losses documented for some existing conversions are extremely large (Fargione et al., 2008), and although the benefit of a long-term annual offset of fossil carbon emissions is important, short-term losses from conversion of natural ecosystems do not favor, even in carbon terms alone, land-use change....
