Session: Interactions Between Soil Biotic Communities and Biochar: Implications For Plant Health, Nutrient Cycling and Environmental Quality: I (ASA, CSSA and SSSA International Annual Meetings)

260 Interactions Between Soil Biotic Communities and Biochar: Implications For Plant Health, Nutrient Cycling and Environmental Quality: I

Oral Session

SSSA Division: Soil Biology & Biochemistry

This session invites speakers to present current research on the interaction of microbial communities with black C or biochar. Effects of biochar on plant disease suppression, mycorrhizal colonization, the legume/rhizobium symbiosis and other plant/microbe interactions are particularly welcome.
