To the Authors
The article entitled ‘’Mitigation of gaseous emissions from stored swine manure with biochar: effect of dose and reapplication on a pilot-scale’’ deals with the investigation of the effectiveness of biochar dose and reapplication on mitigation of gaseous emissions (NH3, odorous VOCs, odor, and GHGs) from stored swine manure on a pilot-scale setup.
The manuscript is well written. Information is easy to follow and is of high scientific quality.

Reviewer 2 Report
This article is an interesting issue of Mitigation of gaseous emissions from stored swine manure with biochar: effect of dose and reapplication on a pilot-scale, which also plays an important role today.
The problem of odors and reducing the impact of chemical aromatic-active compounds is a broad issue, and the topics undertaken by the author's concern methods of reducing the impact of smell and searching for optimal solutions in this area. The methodology derived from the analysis of research issues is the basis for determining the optimal technique for limiting the impact caused by emissions. The specified techniques take into account all technological aspects, but it is worth considering a broader description and calculation of the economic effect of the solutions used.
