Is pre-biological treatment of organic wastes the best option for recycling organic matter to soil? [PDF]
, 2004 Organic wastes are produced from a variety of sources such as agriculture, horticulture, forestry, industry, sewage treatment and households. These wastes are mainly derived from crops grown on land and contain elements, such as N, P, K, and S ...

SOIL ORGANIC MATTER (SOM): STATUS, TARGET AND CHALLENGES IN NEPAL [PDF]
Malaysian Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 2021 Changes in soil organic matter (SOM) are slow and difficult to monitor, usually apparent after few decades. Recent changes in the agriculture had its influence on soil, including the soil organic matter content.

Possible role of organic matter in radiocaesium adsorption in soils [PDF]
, 2002 The aim of this review is to examine the hypothesis that organic matter decreases the adsorption of radiocaesium on clay minerals. The factors that determine radiocaesium mobility and bioavailability in soil are briefly outlined to show why a ...

Study of the trace metal ion influence on the turnover of soil organic matter in cultivated contaminated soils [PDF]
, 2006 The role of metals in the behaviour of soil organic matter (SOM) is not well documented. Therefore, we investigated the influence of metals (Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd) on the dynamic of SOM in contaminated soils where maize (C4 plant) replaced C3 cultures. Three

Modelling soil organic matter turnover [PDF]
, 2004 This thesis investigates various ways of determining and predicting soil carbon quality. The continuous-quality theory was used to study soil carbon quality changes under perturbations and to explain soil C:N ratios. Also, using the framework of the same
