A denitrifying bioreactor is a system where a carbon substrate (commonly woodchips) is
used to reduce nitrate concentration in water flow. For many years, water flow through …

Solutions are urgently needed to address the continued degradation of agricultural soils
worldwide, which has severely impacted the ability to grow crops and has led to increased …

In small populations and scattered communities, wastewater treatment through vegetation
filters (VFs), a nature-based solution, has proved to be feasible, especially for nutrient and …

Denitrifying bioreactors using woodchips reduce nitrate loads in agricultural outflows, but
there is a lack of practical guidance for woodchip selection from a hydraulic design …

Denitrification beds are being used to reduce the transport of water-soluble nitrate via
subsurface drainage systems to surface water. Only recently has the non-linearity of water …

Large-scale open storage of wood mulch is common practice at wood recycling facilities.
During rain and snow melt, leachate with soluble compounds and suspended particles is …

In this paper, we discuss recent efforts from the last 20 years to describe transport in
municipal solid waste (MSW). We first discuss emerging themes in the field to draw the …

Leachate generation from open stockpiles of recycled woodchip materials is potentially
harmful to aquatic ecosystems. There is growing interest in using numerical models to …

Abstract Information on the amount of water held by woodchips in the field is needed to
assess environmental risks when they are kept in stockpiles or for inferring their efficiency as …

Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), porosity, and particle size are key physical
parameters of woodchip media for denitrifying bioreactor design. Current design guidelines …
