Presentation summary:  This is the first webinar in the Biochar series for 2021. This webinar will cover aspects related to forest management approaches that can help with negative emissions technologies to increase C sequestration and retention in two ways: (1) apply silvicultural practices that change residual tree growing space by increasing the allocation of that space, water, and nutrients for increased growth and (2) use the current non- value removed biomass to create biochar. In addition the presentation will cover how C sequestered during biochar application, in combination with sustainable biomass production, can be C negative and therefore used to actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere with different applications.
