Impact of chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry on phosphorus, suspended sediment and metal loss to runoff from a grassland soil [PDF]

, 2011
peer-reviewedEmerging remediation technologies such as chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry have the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) solubility and consequently reduce P losses arising from land application of dairy cattle slurry. The aim of this

Roots contribute more to refractory soil organic matter than above-ground crop residues, as revealed by a long-term field experiment [PDF]

, 2011
We revisited the well documented and ongoing long-term 'Ultuna continuous soil organic matter field experiment' which started in 1956 at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

Improving the Chemical Properties of Acid Sulphate Soils from the Casamance River Basin

Land, 2023
The anoxic conditions produced after the reflooding of acid sulphate soil (ASS) can reduce sulphate and/or Fe(III) with a consequent rise in pH. This study aimed to compare the effect of different amendments on ASS remediation and to analyse the effect ...

Number and dissimilarity of soil amendments influence soil properties and plant communities in a greenhouse experiment

Geoderma
Soil health is fundamental in supporting plant diversity and productivity. In turn, a species-rich plant community enhances soil functions and is crucial in sustainable ecosystem management.

The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

Effects of sustanaible soil management on soil quality [PDF]

, 2010
The declining of soil fertility due to intensive agriculture represents the main constraint to agricultural productivity. Sustainability of agriculture may be threatened by the progressive reduction of soil organic matter without adequate restoration ...

Incidental phosphorus and nitrogen loss from grassland plots receiving chemically amended dairy cattle slurry [PDF]

, 2012
peer-reviewedChemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry has been shown to effectively reduce incidental phosphorus (P) losses in runoff; however, the effects of amendments on incidental nitrogen (N) losses are not as well documented. This study examined P
