Biodegradation of triclosan in biosolids-amended soils
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2011Abstract Land application of biosolids can constitute an important source of triclosan (TCS) input to soils, with uncertain effects. Several studies have investigated the degradation potential of TCS in biosolids-amended soils, but the results vary widely.

Amendment Effects on Soil Test Phosphorus
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2005ABSTRACTApplications of animal manures have increased soil test P values in many parts of the USA and thus increased the risk that soil P will be transferred to surface water and decrease water quality. To continue farming these areas, landowners need tools to reduce the risk of P losses.

Soil amendments effects on radiocesium translocation in forest soils
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2016We conducted an experiment to investigate the potential of phytoremediation by soil amendments in a forest area. To desorb radiocesium (137Cs) from variable charges in the soil, ammonium sulfate (NH4+) and elemental sulfur (S) (which decrease soil pH) were applied to forest soil collected from contaminated area at a rate of 40 and 80 g/m2, respectively.

Characterization of biochar amended soil by hydropyrolysis
2014Biochar, a solid product of biomass pyrolysis, attracts research interest due to its potential value for long-term carbon sequestration with additional agronomic benefits. The environmental potential and limitation of biochar in soil applications requires a full understanding of stability and the fate of carbon fractions and trace contaminants, such as

Effect of soil amendments on sorption and mobility of metribuzin in soils
Chemosphere, 2007Metribuzin (4-amino-6-tert-butyl-4,5-dihydro-3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5-one), is weakly sorbed to soil therefore, leaches easily to lower soil profiles. Soil amendments play a significant role in the management of leaching losses of pesticides. Therefore, present study reports the effect of organic manure and fly ash amendments on metribuzin downward

Biochar is a carbon-rich substance made by pyrolyzing organic biomass in an environment with no oxygen. It has become a viable soil amendment that might greatly improve the chemical characteristics and fertility of soil. This chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of biochar's diverse effects on soil chemistry, encompassing changes to pH, cation ...

Adsorption of Cadmium on Biosolids‐Amended Soils
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2001ABSTRACTDebate exists over the biosolid phase (organic or inorganic) responsible for the reduction in phytoavailable Cd in soils amended with biosolids as compared with soils amended with inorganic salts. To test the importance of these two phases, adsorption isotherms were developed for soil samples (nine biosolids‐amended soils and their five ...

Soil biological amendments for soil health
Open Access GovernmentSoil biological amendments for soil health Lynette Abbott and Bede Mickan from The University of Western Australia, provide insights into research on enhancing soil health using biological amendments. Healthy soils support resilient farming systems. Communities of soil organisms provide the backbone of soil health, and their abundance,
