Perhaps you meant "biochar", no hyphen, coined by Peter Read in 2009?

(The brackets and the word 'fuel' are part of the URL)

So, what have you found about activated charcoal?

  over the longer term, feeding the bacteria
population by such compounds is only a part
of the picture.  for humus it is the plant
parts that decay which last longer.

  if you have some fires going through at 
times to form some chars then you get carbon in
a more stable form (often with vastly more
surface area for bacterial populations).

  btw, terra preta is composed of more than
just carbon.  it is also evidence of a 
complicated society and large population...

Sorry but that's not even close to being right
if we are talking about healthy soil that
is rich in carbon. It might be true for soils
that are depleted in carbon.  But relying in
dead plant parts for the soil's carbon is a
major reason those soils are depleted.

The half life of dead plant material buried in
soil tends to be less than a year while the
half life of glomalin is more than a decade.
http://agresearchmag.ars.usda.gov/2002/sep/soil

The reason conventional agriculture has destroyed so
much carbon in the soil is because it does not support
the natural process of carbon creation by organisms
that have symbiotic relationships with plant roots.
The plants supply the carbon through their toots and
the organisms turn it into more stable compounds that
eventually make up a significant part non-living organic
components of healthy soil.

turning plant organic matter into char does appear
to create a more stable form of soil carbon, but
there also appears to be soil organisms involved
