This study investigates carbon stability of biochars produced from wood, herbaceous, and fruit agricultural waste products from southern Vietnam. Organic geochemistry and petrology have well-established measurable parameters that define degree of preservation of organic carbon in the Earth’s crust. These parameters are utilized, comparatively, to infer the organic carbon stability in biochars relative to that preserved in the geological carbonaceous rocks.
