Effect of biochar particles applied in bedding course of the innovative permeable pavement on enhancing nitrogen removal

Coconut shell biochar and bamboo biochar were added to the bedding courses of permeable pavements to improve nitrogen removal efficiency. This was expected to be particularly effective for innovative permeable pavements that increase evaporation of stored rainwater. The effects of the rainfall inten...
