Abstract

This chapter discusses the strengths and limitations of the growing range of techniques available for measuring the amount of biochar in soil matrices. The methods are broken into broad physical, chemical, thermal, and spectroscopic groups of techniques. A further distinction is made between techniques that quantify biochar abundance or quantify and isolate the biochar from other organic components to enable subsequent further detailed characterization and analysis. The techniques available range widely in the analytical window they target, some techniques quantifying all biochar, others only a small but defined component of the total biochar in a sample.
