Organic Amendments for Landscape Soils [PDF]
, 2021 Organic amendments are added to modify a soil in the zone where roots will grow— unlike mulches, which are applied to the undisturbed soil surface. These materials may be incorporated into landscape soils to improve plant growth. However, research has not shown that adding amendments to planting holes for perennial plants provides a significant ...

The aggregation effect of organic matter on bauxite residue particles and its improvement mechanism
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Introduction: Understanding organic amendment and the agglomeration of bauxite residue particles is vital to soil amelioration of bauxite residues. In this study, a pot culture experiment was conducted to illustrate the aggregation of organic amendment ...

Alternate Nitrogen Amendments for Organic Fertilizers [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2001 The use of compost or manure in agriculture as an organic source of nutrients is common in many tropical, developing countries like Nigeria. One of the drawbacks of such materials is their low nitrogen (N) content (=1% N). Farmers commonly use chemical N fertilizers such as urea, calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), and NPK formulations to obtain better ...

Organic Carbon Amendments for Enhanced Biological Attenuation of Trace Organic Contaminants in Biochar-Amended Stormwater Biofilters [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2017 This study sought to evaluate how dissolved organic carbon (DOC) affects attenuation of trace organic contaminants (TOrCs) in biochar-amended stormwater biofilters. It was hypothesized that (1) DOC-augmented runoff would demonstrate enhanced TOrC biodegradation and (2) biochar-amended sand bearing DOC-cultivated biofilms would achieve enhanced TOrC ...
