Abstract The restoration of soils affected by mining activities depends on the improvement soil physical quality. This study aimed to determine medium‐term effects organic amendments and mulches properties hydrological response. experimental was conducted in a homogeneous slope using factorial design (organic × mulches). consisted compost from domestic residues, sewage sludge an urban water treatment facility, control without amendment. gravel, woodchips, mulch. Modifications structure...
In the barren semiarid landscape individual plant species improve soil structure, reducing erosion risks, whereby microaggregates form most fundamental structural components. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are considered as an important glue determining aggregation in addition to inorganic binding agents such carbonates. However, role of prokaryotic community EPS formation and consequently for microaggregation natural environments is not substantially clarified yet. should be...
Abstract The addition of organic amendments and mulches to degraded soils is a common soil restoration strategy in calcareous quarries that has generated proven benefits subhumid semiarid environments. We evaluated their effects quarry located SE Spain an area transition from arid climate. Amendments consisted sewage sludges urban water treatment plant compost wastes. Mulches siliceous fine gravels woodchips. Effects on 3 native species ( Macrochloa tenacissima , Anthyllis terniflora...
Abstract The objective of our study was to undestand the effect two organic amendments on three planted autochthonous species in substrates mulched with pine chips 6 years after starting an experimental restoration a quarry for cement production semiarid SE Spain. But because this kind mulch contained cones and seedlings appeared first year restoration, new objectives were added initial one: check if influenced growth among vegetation there competition between non‐planted species.
