Abstract:<p>In boreal peatland forests, drainage and harvesting increase nitrogen (N) export to watercourses and the highest N concentration in runoff water occurs outside the growing season when traditional water protection methods based on biological activity are inefficient. In these conditions, water purification based on adsorption could offer a solution. Biochar can be an effective sorbent material for removal of nutrients from water due to its high specific surface area, porous structure and high c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
