“…Glyphosate mobility in soils is limited but can be affected by soil acidity and type (Berzins et al., 2019; Sprankle, Meggitt, & Penner, 1975). The role of infiltration and runoff in spreading it into surface waters (Daouk, Alencastro, & Pfeifer, 2013) is an important issue when glyphosate use is considered in restoration sites.…”

Invasive plant species can hinder the establishment and growth of native plants and impact several ecosystem properties, such as soil cover, nutrient cycling, fire regimes and hydrology. Controlling invasive plants is then a necessary, yet usually expensive, step towards the restoration of an ecosystem. A synthesis of literature is needed to understand variation in invasive plants' impacts and their practical control in restoration contexts, and to identify associated knowledge gaps. We reviewed 372 articles published from 2000 to 2019 covering the control of undesirable plants (both exotic invasive and overabundant native plant species) in ecological restoration to gather information on the main plants being controlled and methods used, and considering the distribution of studies among biomes and countries grouped according to the Human Development Index (HDI). Grasses and forbs were the most‐studied invasive plant species in restoration sites, but invasive trees were well studied in the tropics. Poaceae and Asteraceae were the most studied families of invasive plants. Non‐chemical interventions (mostly mowing and prescribed fire) were used in more than half of the reviewed studies globally, but chemical methods (mainly glyphosate spraying, used in 40% of projects using herbicides) are also common. The reviewed studies were mostly performed in countries with very high HDI. Countries with low and medium HDI used only non‐chemical methods. Synthesis and applications. Decisions about which control method to use depend heavily on the invasive plant species' growth forms, the local economic situation where the restoration sites are located and resources available for control. More developed countries tend to use more chemical control, whereas less developed ones use mainly non‐chemical methods. Since most of the reviewed studies were performed in countries with very high HDI, we lack information from developing countries, which concentrates global hotspots for biodiversity conservation and global commitments of forest and landscape restoration.

“…For example, carbon‐carbon stretching vibration in the aromatic rings of the s‐GAC solid appears at about 1600 cm −1 , as in the case of fresh GAC. −C=CH 2 bond scissoring vibrations and wagging or deformation of CH 2 groups [59] as well as the presence of CaCO 3 [60] also appear at about 1417 cm −1 . FT‐IR spectrum of t‐GAC is characterized by vibrations bands attributable to the presence of CH 2 /CH 3 , COO − and C−O moieties on the carbon surface.…”

Developing sustainable cost‐effective strategies for valorization of field‐spent granular activated carbon (s‐GAC) from industrial water treatment has gained much interest. Here, we report a cost‐effective strategy for the regeneration of s‐GAC as an adsorbent in a large‐scale drinking water treatment plant and used as an efficient and durable ozonation catalyst in water. To achieve this, a series of samples is prepared by subjecting s‐GAC to thermally controlled combustion treatments with and without pyrolysis. The catalytic performance of the optimized sample is evaluated for oxalic acid degradation as the model pollutant under batch (> 15 h) and continuous flow operations (> 200 h). The partially deactivated catalyst upon reuse is restored by thermal treatment. Electron paramagnetic resonance and selective quenching experiments show the formation of 1O2 during catalytic ozonation. The GAC‐ozonation catalyst is efficient to minimize the formation of chlorinated disinfection by‐products like trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids in an urban wastewater effluent.
