Coupling of iron-carbon can form a mixotrophic denitrification and is regarded as a promising solution for purifying nitrate-rich agricultural runoff. However, its prevalence and efficacy of the synergistic augmentation of nitrogen elimination and net NO sinks remain crucial knowledge gaps in ecological ditches (eco-ditches). Here, we investigated the underlying variability mechanisms by implementing sponge iron (sFe)-coupled Iris hexagonus (IH)- or Myriophyllum aquaticum (MA)-derived biochar produced via microwave-assisted (MW) pyrolysis and conventional pyrolysis.
