UC Davis has created a searchable database of biochar characteristics, including sorption characteristics.

"The UC Davis Biochar Database represents data collected in our laboratory at UC Davis and extracted from a growing number of published studies. However, the real power of the database will be realized by contributions coming from members of the biochar community. We therefore encourage wide-spread participation in the database through our data entry module.  In addition, we anticipate collaborating with other biochar stakeholders who have access to large amounts of data for inclusion in the UCD Biochar Database."
