This research aims to explore the potential of by-product amendments for improving soil health and mitigating degradation.
Application of various by-product amendments to degraded soils over a defined period
Comparison of soil health indicators before and after treatment
Assessment of environmental impacts and soil quality improvements
Significant improvement in soil quality metrics observed with by-product applications
Reduction in contaminants by up to 40% in treated soils
Enhanced nutrient availability and microbial activity in amended soils
Abstract
Modern society is currently facing two pressing environmental crises: the systemic loss of fertile, healthy soil due to various forms of degradation and the escalating generation of diverse waste streams ...
