Copper and zinc retention by an organically amended soil

Chemosphere, 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.

Molecular changes in organic matter of a compost‐amended soil

European Journal of Soil Science, 2009
Summary The molecular changes of organic matter in a cultivated soil after compost amendments was followed by off‐line‐pyrolysis‐TMAH GC‐MS. Thermochemolysis of soil and compost provided a detailed molecular characterization of soil organic matter (SOM) by releasing a large amount of different molecules mainly ...

Mitigation of rice cadmium (Cd) accumulation by joint application of organic amendments and selenium (Se) in high-Cd-contaminated soils.

Chemosphere, 2020
A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the possible mediatory effect of organic amendments (vermicompost and biochar) and selenium (Se) on Cd bioaccumulation in both rice cultivars (high-Cd accumulation rice: Yuzhenxiang (YZX) and low-Cd ...
