Underground trenches filled with woodchips, called bioreactors, are gaining traction as viable edge-of-field tools to remove nitrogen (N) from the water that drains from agricultural fields. A new study from Iowa State University looked at how woodchip degradation affected the performance and lifespan of these bioreactors.
