The short-term effect of three broad spectrum fungicides on microbial activity, microbial biomass, soil ergosterol content, and phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiles was studied. A silty clay loam soil was treated ...

Repeated applications of composted tannery sludge to arable soils have the potential to greatly alter soil chemistry and thus potentially influence the soil microbial community over time. This study performed multivariate ...

Microbial and biochemical indicators of soil health were used to assess the ecological conditions and biological activity of soils contaminated with metals at a lead smelter plant and surrounding area in northeast Brazil. ...

Composting is recognized as one of the most cost-effective and environmentally sound alternatives for organic waste recycling. Long-composted wastes have the potential to substitute for inorganic fertilizers. We investigated ...

Industrialization has contributed to the increase in the generation of potentially toxic solid residues. Textile and tannery industries produce residues, called sludge, with high organic and inorganic content, including ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the response of soil microbial biomass and organic matter fractions during the transition from conventional to organic farming in a tropical soil. Soil samples were collected from ...
