Some critics have alleged that use of this proprietary software violates educational privacy as well as international intellectual-property laws, and exploits students' works for commercial purposes by permanently storing them in Turnitin's privately held database. The software has been a source of controversy, with some students refusing to submit, arguing that requiring submission implies a presumption of guilt.

Students may be required to submit work to Turnitin as a requirement of taking a certain course or class. Results can identify similarities with existing sources and can also be used in formative assessment to help students learn to avoid plagiarism and improve their writing.

Applying 4 L of biochar mixed with the backfill of newly-planted trees is the top recommended practice for tree performance.Turnitin (stylized as turnitin) is an Internet-based plagiarism detection service run by the American company Turnitin, LLC, a subsidiary of Advance Publications.ДЇounded in 1998, it sells its licenses to universities and high schools who then use the software as a service (SaaS) website to check submitted documents against its database and the content of other websites with the aim of identifying plagiarism. New systems are being developed in Appalachia to produce biofuels and biochar from local biomass and to recycle biochar into the land base to enhance future biomass productivity. Further studies should test these methods in the field over multiple years and further refine recommendations of the rate of biochar to use and how best to apply it. Results suggest that pine biochar either broadcast at 2.3 - 22.5 Mg haвЂ‘1, or mixed in planting holes with backfill soil, will promote faster above-ground growth and larger root systems in seedlings in mine soils.

Topdressing and full incorporation of biochar were not significantly different in their effects on biomass. Naturally-occurring herbaceous biomass in the pots was negatively correlated with above-ground woody biomass at r = -0.483. High (22.5 Mg ha-1) biochar applications increased soil volumetric water holding capacity to 18.6% compared to 13.4% for pure mine soil. After weathering, biochar provided less available soil phosphorus, calcium and iron than the mine soil itself while increasing soil carbon and organic matter. All of the biochar treatments produced greater average above-ground woody biomass (19.1 g вЂ“ 33.4 g) than the pure mine soil (10.9 g). The pure biochar produced greater average below-ground biomass (99.9 g) than the pure mine soil (46.9 g). Black locust had higher average above-ground dry woody biomass (24.4 g) than American sycamore (17.0 g), and also higher below-ground biomass (61.0 g compared to 30.2 g). Unplanted leaching columns were leached with collected rainwater for six months to simulate weathering. One-year-old seedlings of both American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) were planted. For the tree planting pots, additional pots were created where the biochar was applied as a topdressing at the same application rates as in the mixtures.

Unplanted leaching columns and 4 L tree planting pots were filled with these biochar-soil mixtures, plus controls of pure mine soil and pure biochar. Mine soil was collected from a recently reclaimed coal surface mine in Wise County, Virginia and mixed with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) sawdust biochar, simulating application rates of 2.3, 11.2 and 22.5 Mg ha-1.

Biochar produced in bioenergy generation has potential for use as an amendment to improve seedling performance. Early growth and survival of tree seedlings is often poor on reclaimed coal surface mines in Appalachia.
