Role of biochar in biodegradation of nonylphenol in sediment: Increasing microbial activity versus decreasing bioavailability

Abstract The observed strong sorption of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) to biochar presents potential implications for HOCs bioavailability and bioaccessibility in sediments, while biochar could impact sediment microbial ecology. However, the comprehensive study on the effects of biochar on...
