• Effects of nano-sized zero-valent iron on DDT degradation and residual toxicity in soil: a column experiment 

      El-Temsah, Yehia; Oughton, Deborah Helen; Joner, Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-07)
      Background and aims Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) application is a promising technology for degradation of chlorinated contaminants in soil. Plants also play an important role in soil remediation and nZVI should not ...
    • Enhancing plant N uptake with biochar-based fertilizers: limitation of sorption and prospects 

      Rasse, Daniel; Weldon, Simon Mark; Joner, Erik; Joseph, Stephen; Kammann, Claudia I.; Liu, Xiaoyu; O'Toole, Adam; Pan, Genxing; Kocatürk Schumacher, Nazli Pelin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-24)
      Background Biochar-based fertilizer products (BCF) have been reported to increase both crop yield and N-use efficiency. Such positive effects are often assumed to result from the slow-release of N adsorbed on BCF structures. ...
    • Sedum root foraging in layered green roof substrates 

      Ji, Peng; Sæbø, Arne; Stovin, Virginia; Hanslin, Hans Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-29)
      Background and aims Layered profiles of designed soils may provide long-term benefits for green roofs, provided the vegetation can exploit resources in the different layers. We aimed to quantify Sedum root foraging for ...
