Carbon mass balance model to investigate biochar and activated carbon amendment effects on the biodegradation of stable-isotope labeled toluene in gravelly sand

Fully stable isotope-labeled toluene was used as a model volatile petroleum hydrocarbon (VPH) to investigate the mineralization of VPHs and soil organic matter (SOM) by soil microorganisms in the presence and absence of 2%%(w/w) wood-chip biochar or bitumen-derived activated carbon. Biodegradation o...
