Quantification of black carbon in urban soils [PDF]
, 2011 Black carbon (BC), which comprises partially combusted organic material such as char and soot, is a hazardous pollutant and contributor to global warming, but is also highly stable, and once deposited in soil contributes to long-term stocks of ...

Sources of uncertainties in modelling black carbon at the global scale [PDF]
, 2010 Our understanding of the global black carbon (BC) cycle is essentially qualitative due to uncertainties in our knowledge of its properties. This work investigates two source of uncertainties in modelling black carbon: those due to the use of different ...
