Copper and zinc retention by an organically amended soil

open access: yesChemosphere, 2003
This paper describes changes in retention of Cu and Zn in laboratory experiments by a sandy soil that had been amended in the field with different composted wastes. The amounts of the metals retained increased as a result of the amendments, especially after two years.

Optimal control of organic matter applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Organic matter amendments appear to increase yield, but need to be sustained, as yield decreases when amendments cease. Here we mathematically devise optimal strategies for organic matter applications that take account of how quickly, in years of ...
