Appendix 5 – The Use of H:C org to Indicate C Stability<br />
The molar H:C org ratio is recommended to distinguish biochar from other thermochemically<br />
altered organic matter <strong>for</strong> several reasons:<br />
1. H:C ratios change substantially with thermochemical treatment (Keiluweit et al., 2010);<br />
2. O:C ratios have been shown to correlate well with stability of biochars (Spokas, 2010);<br />
3. H:C <strong>and</strong> O:C ratios are closely related (<strong>for</strong> low-ash biochars
