Methane Emission Reduction and Biological Characteristics of Landfill Cover Soil Amended With Hydrophobic Biochar

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Biochar-amended landfill cover soil (BLCS) can promote CH4 and O2 diffusion, but it increases rainwater entry in the rainy season, which is not conducive to CH4 emission reduction.
