IBI 2010 took place over 4 days with numerous oral and poster presentations. The final conference agenda is linked below and they will will be uploading all presentations as they are received.
It covers the basic carbon cycle, biochar's agricultural use, interaction with nutrients and microbes, reversing fossil fuel use, appropriate sources of renewable biomass.. my sources of information are, basically, this mailing list, and my own experiences making and using biochar.
