Carbon mineralization, biological indicators, and phytotoxicity to assess the impact of urban sewage sludge on two light-textured soils in a microcosm
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
The agricultural reuse of urban sewage sludge (USS) modifies soil properties depending on sludge quality, management, and pedo-environmental conditions. The aim of this microcosm study was to assess C mineralization and ...
Nutrient retention and release from raw exhausted grape marc biochars and an amended agricultural soil: Static and dynamic investigation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Biochar is the solid by-product of biomass thermochemical conversion via pyrolysis technique. Biochar addition to croplands as an organic amendment can improve soil properties and increase agricultural productivity. However, ...
Impact of urban sewage sludge on soil physico-chemical properties and phytotoxicity as influenced by soil texture and reuse conditions
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Report)
Urban sewage sludge (USS) is increasingly applied to agricultural soils, but mixed results have been reported because of variations in reuse conditions. Most field trials have been conducted in cropping systems, which ...
Monitoring the variation of soil quality with sewage sludge application rates in absence of rhizosphere effect
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Agricultural soils in semi-arid regions have frequently been degraded due to adverse climatic conditions, organic matter depletion, and poor farming practices. To enhance soil quality, this study examines the reuse of ...
Community-level genetic profiles of actinomycetales in long-term biowaste-amended soils
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Actinomycetales is an order of actinobacteria that have an important role in the decomposition of organic matter. Their abundance and distribution can reflect a good level of soil fertility as well as biological activity. ...
Seed Biofortification by Engineered Nanomaterials: A Pathway to Alleviate Malnutrition?
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article Review)
Micronutrient deficiencies in global food chains are a significant cause of ill health around the world, particularly in developing countries. Agriculture is the primary source of nutrients required for sound health, and ...
