TLDR
In this article, the effects of biogas digestion on soil mineral N (SMN) content in spring and autumn were assessed and compared to compare NH3 volatilization following superficial application of different manures to a cereal crop.

Effects of anaerobic digestion on digestate nutrient availability and crop growth: A review

TL;DR: Anaerobic digestion for biogas production leads to several changes in the composition of the resulting digestates compared to the original feedstock (ammonia content, pH, carbon to nitrogen ratio, etc.), which are relevant for the plant availability of macro- and micronutrients after field application as discussed by the authors.

Agricultural benefits and environmental risks of soil fertilization with anaerobic digestates: a review.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the legislative, chemical, agronomic and environmental literature on anaerobic digestates is presented, showing that digestates can be considered as organic amendments or organic fertilizers, when properly handled and managed.

Closing the Global Energy and Nutrient Cycles through Application of Biogas Residue to Agricultural Land – Potential Benefits and Drawback

TL;DR: Anaerobic digestion is an optimal way to treat organic waste matter, resulting in biogas and residue, and utilization of the residue as a crop fertilizer should enhance crop yield and soil fertility, promoting closure of the global energy and nutrient cycles as mentioned in this paper.

Agricultural use of digestate for horticultural crop production and improvement of soil properties

TL;DR: The usefulness of a digestate from an anaerobic codigestion process as a fertiliser product was evaluated in a field experiment using two horticultural crops (watermelon and cauliflower), during two successive growing seasons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Manure-based biogas fermentation residues – Friend or foe of soil fertility?

TL;DR: Anaerobic digestion of organic residues has the potential to significantly contribute to a shift from fossil to renewable energy as mentioned in this paper, but the byproduct, anaerobic slurry, does have properties that are different from the undigested material.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

Advances in Soil Science

B. A. Stewart
TL;DR: The topics addressed in this volume of a continuing series on the soil sciences are soil-water repellency, nutrient transformations in soils amended by green manures, and the physical fractionation of soil and organic matter in primary particle size and density separates as discussed by the authors.
