TL;DR: A field experiment was carried out in a semiarid agricultural Mediterranean area located at the “El Teularet” experimental field in the Enguera Sierra (Valencia, southeast Spain) to assess the influence of different agricultural management systems on indicators of soil biological quality and activity (microbial biomass C, basal respiration, C mineralization coefficients, metabolic quotient (qCO2), respiratory quotient) one year after treatment establishment as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, five different treatments (ploughing, herbicide, control, straw mulch and chipped pruned branches) were evaluated to evaluate the effect of different agricultural management on soil properties and soil erosion.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of successive biosolids (sewage sludge) amendments on aggregate stability percentage and bulk density on two degraded soils (one salinized) have been evaluated during several samplings.

TL;DR: The application of organic matter, such as oats straw, appears to be a sustainable management practice that enhances organic carbon, microbial biomass and activity and fungal abundances, thereby changing the microbial community structure to one more similar to those observed in soils under wild forest coverage.

TL;DR: The effect of the addition of urban refuse (UR) on the percentage of stable aggregates in a semi-arid structureless soil was studied in a 67-day incubation experiment.
