Anaerobic digestion of organic residues has the potential to significantly contribute to a shift
from fossil to renewable energy. The by-product, anaerobic slurry, does have properties that …

The shift towards a biobased economy will probably trigger the application of bioenergy by-
products to the soil as either amendments or fertilizers. However, limited research has been …

The use of organic residues as soil amendments or fertilisers may represent a valuable
recycling strategy. In this study, a series of laboratory assays was performed to study the …

Cereal straw, which is most often returned to the soil in arable cropping systems, is of
renewed interest as a potential source of bioenergy. However, the sustainability of this …

The rapid development of biogas production will result in increased use of biogas residues
as organic fertilizers. However, control of microbial activity by organic fertilizers remains a …

Although crop residue return increases upland soil emissions of nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a
potent greenhouse gas, the mechanisms responsible for the increase remain unclear. Here …

Tree leaf litter and crop residues (fine roots and straw) of the two main crops (maize and
peanut) collected from temperate poplar-based agroforestry systems in Liaoning Province …

Sulfonates are a key component of the sulfur present in agricultural soils. Their mobilization
as part of the soil sulfur cycle is mediated by rhizobacteria, and involves the oxidoreductase …

Recently there has been much interest in the effect of litter mixing as well as the effect of
different forest habitats on the decomposition process. Our aim was to test two hypotheses …

Oil pollution is a worldwide threat to the environment that affects the development of plants.
The effect of soil contaminated by diesel on the physiological responses of seedlings of …
