Current research on the influence of environmental and physicochemical factors in shaping soil bacterial structure has seldom been approached from a pedological perspective. We studied communities eight soils selected along pedogenic gradient at local scale Mediterranean calcareous mountain (Sierra de María, SE Spain). The results showed that relative abundance Acidobacteria, Canditate division WPS-1, Armatimonadetes decreased whereas Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria increased...
Intensive agriculture relies on external inputs to reach high productivity and profitability. Plastic mulch, mainly in the form of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), is widely used decrease evaporation, increase soil temperature prevent weeds. The incomplete removal LDPE mulch after use causes plastic contamination agricultural soils. In conventional agriculture, pesticides also leaves residues accumulating Thus, objective this study was measure pesticide soils their effects microbiome. For...
Although the use of microalgae-based wastewater treatment (MWWT) processes is demonstrated to recover nutrients and produce clean water for agriculture, very scarce evidence this has been reported. This work aims solve gap provide reliable data at respect. For that, raceway reactor was operated in continuous mode municipal wastewater, recovery water, production biomass. After confirming accomplishment regulation discharge treated evaluated its as irrigation lettuce, using both untreated...
Abstract Choosing the most suitable organic amendment to restore abandoned croplands in semi‐arid conditions is difficult. This due complexity of soil processes and high number properties modified by substrates. work evaluates variations main physical, chemical biochemical properties, quality terms nutrient enhancement microbiological activity (assessed index) two agricultural soils treated with four composted amendments throughout 18 months Andalusia (Southern, Spain) compared untreated...
In Europe, food and agricultural waste amount to millions of tonnes annually. Effective management valorisation these residues result in environmental benefits foster opportunities within the circular economy. Composting has emerged as a sustainable method convert into fertiliser, enhancing soil fertility, water retention, crop resilience against diseases. However, an adequate compost production process is vital obtain functional fertiliser. this study, controlled conditions self-produced...
Abstract In quarries, human extractive activities degrade the soil’s physical and chemical qualities, affecting microbial communities. The application of organic amendments is known to improve physical, biochemical properties, causing short-term changes in taxonomic composition function bacterial objective this study determine long-term effects applied degraded quarry soils on communities by shotgun metagenome sequencing (MGS). site located a limestone Sierra de Gádor (SE, Spain). 2018, five...
Abstract The creation of Technosols with waste amendments has proved to be a viable option for restoring soils affected by mining activities in arid and semi-arid zones. As an indicator soil quality, structure is being studied 5 years after the application restoration treatments limestone cement quarry (Almería province, Spain). There, 18 experimental plots (Technosols) 50 m 2 (10 × m) were installed 2018, aim applying organic obtained from residues sandy-clay substrate quarry, namely: i)...
Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are a significant threat to soils. However, there is scarce information on the impact of MPs soil properties, particularly in volcanic ash‐derived The objective this study was evaluate polyamide (PA) and low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) biological chemical characteristics an Andisol from central Chile. Twenty‐one parameters were evaluated, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total organic carbon (TOC), dissolved (DOC), phosphorus (TP), available...
Abstract Land use change as conversion pasture to forest produces several changes on hydrological cycle. In this paper, we analyse the effects stream discharge of afforestation a small watershed devoted using HBV model. Streamflow data obtained over first 10 years after planting were employed evaluate capacity model simulate behaviour catchment afforestation. Obtained results indicate that estimation streamflow was accurate reflected by statistics ( R 2 = 0.90, NSC 0.89 and PBIAS 0.34)....
