Biochar-amended substrate improves nutrient retention in green roof plots
Nature-Based Solutions, 2023 Green roofs can act as pollutant sources due to the nutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) leaching from the engineered soil-like substrate. Designing substrate to reduce this effect, while continuing to provide nutrients for plants, is essential to ...
