Intensive greenhouse vegetable production is often associated with a decline of crop
productivity due to the increase of soil salinity and/or a reduction of biological fertility. The …

Autochthonous bioaugmentation, by exploiting the indigenous microorganisms of the
contaminated environment to be treated, can represent a successful bioremediation …

Predictions of contaminant transport in landfill composite liners are essential to assess the
risk of groundwater pollution. The amount of soil organic carbon is strongly depth …

Biochar is an industrial product made from organic wastes thought pyrolysis process and its
