Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are facilities where municipal wastewater undergoes
treatment so that its organic load and its pathogenic potential are minimized. Sewage sludge …

The virtuous reuse in-situ of agri-based organic wastes to produce compost and bio-organic
fertilizer in the farm for increasing natural suppressiveness of soil to soil-borne plant …

In recent years, biochar has been extensively studied as a sorbent for immobilizing
contaminants and minimizing their bioavailability in soils. Few studies have been conducted …

The application of sewage sludge (SS) to forested lands may lead to the downward
migration of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) through rainfall and thus pose risk to the …

The application of biosolids improves soil nutrient availability and crop productivity;
however, their application needs to be carefully evaluated so as to avoid the risk of …

Corn is one of the major crops in Brazil where acidic soils poor in available nutrients limit
grain productivity in the country. Alternative sources of nutrients have been in demand and …

Since fertilization and liming are unusual practices for managing Pinus taeda L. in Brazil,
nutrient exhaustion can occur in the long term. However, recommendations are limited due …

Biosolids could potentially be used for reforestation of degraded soils in New Zealand with
native vegetation. Many native plant species of New Zealand thrive in low‐fertility soils, and …

Purpose Incorporating biosolids into the soil improves plant yield compared with surface
application, but it can result in the increased uptake of trace elements. However, there is a …

The ecotoxicity of biosolids has been studied extensively using single-compound toxicity
testing and 'spiking'studies; however, little knowledge exists on the ecotoxicity of biosolids …
