Oxygen-containing carboxyl, hydroxyl, and phenolic surface functional groups of soil organic
and mineral components play central roles in binding metal ions, and biochar amendment …

The amendment of carbonaceous materials such as biochars and activated carbons is a
promising in situ remediation strategy for both organic and inorganic contaminants in soils …

Clair Patterson and colleagues demonstrated already four decades ago that the lead cycle
was greatly altered on a global scale by humans. Moreover, this change occurred long …

Ombrotrophic peatland─ fed solely from atmospheric deposition of nutrients and

This study evaluated the effectiveness of unmodified and modified biochar derived from
Pisum sativum peels waste biomass as an adsorbent of copper (II) from aqueous medium …

More than four metres of core, covering almost 5000 years of deposition, were collected in a
high ash minerogenic peat deposit located in the High Aldudes valley (Basque country), an …

A high-resolution sedimentological and geochemical study was performed on a 20 m long
