Nutrient recycling of source-separated human faeces using biochar immobilized indigenous psychrotrophic bacteria for sustaining the agroecosystems of north-western Himalaya

Abstract The Himalayan composting toilets (CTs) offer a sustainable solution for converting human faeces (HF) into compost, supplementing the low-fertile land of the region. However, CTs face challenges such as delayed composting processes (6–8 months), increased heavy metal content, and foul odour....
