...Studies on microbial biomass carbon and enzyme activities provide information on the biochemical processes occurring in soil and there is evidence that soil biological parameters are early and particularly accurate indicators of soil ecological stress and restoration of soil treated with organic amendments (Sciubba et al., 2014)....

...In this experiment, the authors did not find significant differences between DGGE profiles in the control and treated soils and, thus, they affirmed that the method used was not sufficiently accurate to detect small variations in community composition, especially in stable and active populations characterized by high species diversity such as those in soil (Neilson et al., 2013; Sciubba et al., 2014)....

...Therefore, the PSB community structure in soil amended with composts may be similar to the same soil although the population of bacteria varied, as the results of Sciubba et al. (2014) and García-Jaramillo et al. (2016)....

...These materials improve the physical, chemical, and biological soil properties, buildup SOM, and provide essential major crop nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S) (Brauer and Aiken 2006; Sciubba et al. 2014)....
