Enhanced soil function and health by soybean root microbial communities during in situ remediation of Cd-contaminated soil with the application of soil amendments

mSystems, 2023
The interactions between soil microbiomes at various trophic levels are essential for restoring soil functions. Legumes are considered as “pioneer crops” in degraded or contaminated soils because they can fix nitrogen through symbiotic relationships with

Soil Amendments at Planting [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Horticulture, 1984
The growth response of 10 difficult to establish landscape shrubs and trees was evaluated in a series of 4 backfill experiments utilizing hole sizes, organic amendments, mulch, and/or drip irrigation. Growth responses varied among species, but no consistent, positive responses were derived from traditional backfill amendments.
