Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review of the bioavailability and impacts of heavy metals in municipal solid waste composts compared to sewage sludge.
TL;DR: Low metal materials, which include source-segregated and greenwaste composts, are likely to have inherently lower metal availabilities overall, at equivalent metal loading rates to soil, compared to composted residuals with larger metal contents.

Role of organic amendments on enhanced bioremediation of heavy metal(loid) contaminated soils
Jin Hee Park,Dane Lamb,Dane Lamb,Periyasamy Paneerselvam,Periyasamy Paneerselvam,Girish Choppala,Girish Choppala,Nanthi Bolan,Nanthi Bolan,Jae Woo Chung +9 more
TL;DR: This review examines the mechanisms for the enhanced bioremediation of metal(loid)s by organic amendments and discusses the practical implications in relation to sequestration and bioavailability of metal-loids in soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil contamination with cadmium, consequences and remediation using organic amendments
TL;DR: This review paper focuses on the sources, generation, and use of different organic amendments to remediate Cd contaminated soil, discusses their effects on soil physical and chemical properties, Cd bioavailability, plant uptake, and human health risk, and provides an update of the most relevant findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Science of Composting
TL;DR: This chapter begins with an overview of the chemical, physical, and biological changes that occur during thermophilic composting, thereby providing an example of how several sciences can be integrated in the study of composting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ramya Thangarajan,Ramya Thangarajan,Nanthi Bolan,Nanthi Bolan,Guanglong Tian,Ravi Naidu,Ravi Naidu,Anitha Kunhikrishnan +7 more
TL;DR: The future research needs in relation to nitrogen and carbon dynamics in soil to broaden the use of OAs in agriculture to maintain soil health with minimum impact on GHG emission from agriculture are emphasized.

TL;DR: The nature and properties of soils are studied to establish an understanding of the phytochemical properties of soil and how these properties change over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of heavy metals to microorganisms and microbial processes in agricultural soils: a review.
TL;DR: In this article, a hypothesis is formulated to explain how microorganisms may become affected by gradually increasing soil metal concentrations and this is discussed in relation to defining safe or critical soil metal loadings for soil protection.

Managing Agricultural Phosphorus for Protection of Surface Waters: Issues and Options
TL;DR: In this article, the authors brought together agricultural and limnological expertise to prioritize watershed management practices and remedial strategies to mitigate nonpoint-source impacts of agricultural P. The main issues facing the establishment of economically and environmentally sound P management systems are the identification of soil P levels that are of environmental concern; targeting specific controls for different water quality objectives within watersheds; and balancing economic with environmental values.
