Mineral sands mining involves stripping topsoil to access heavy-mineral bearing deposits, which are then rehabilitated to their original state, commonly pasture in south-west Western Australia. Organic amendments such as biosolids (digested sewage sludge) can contribute organic carbon to the rehabilitating system and improve soil chemical fertility and physical conditions. Use of biosolids also...

Human activities have transformed a significant proportion of the world's land surface, with profound effects on ecosystem processes. Soil applications of macronutrients such as nitrate, phosphorus, potassium or calcium are routinely used in the management of croplands, grasslands and forests to improve plant health or increase productivity. However, while the effects of continuous fertilizatio...

Soil acidity reduces base cations required for plant growth and may result in phytotoxic concentrations of soluble aluminum. Liming acidic soils is generally promoted as an effective management practice to increase soil pH, cation concentrations, ameliorate toxicity caused by aluminum manganese. Through a global literature review using data published from field experiments on liming, the object...

Soil acidification caused by anthropogenic activities adversely affects forest ecosystems altering soil pH, which is an important factor in quality and function. Liming one suggested way to solve this problem. This study was performed evaluate the effects of liming acidic soils determining microbial biomass, community structure, extracellular enzyme associated with carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus ...

Many forest soils are acidic and have very low plant-available pools of magnesium. Past present sylvicultural, nutritional and/or climatic pressures endured by ecosystems can result in net losses nutrients ecosystem function losses. Liming with a carbonate product is an alternative to counteract these degradations but the effects liming on biogeochemical cycling over time dynamics Mg released f...

It is important to develop a new convenient and environmentally-friendly technology of liming for sustainable rice production on acidic soil area. Thus, an experiment was conducted evaluate the effect application methods rate lime properties yield. The results showed that similar ameliorating agricultural were found between massive quicklime powered hydrated lime. Interestingly, optimized signi...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of liming (CaCO3 1000 kg ha−1) and application organic fertilizers (rotted farmyard manure 40 t six different combination mineral fertilizers: NPK 15:15:15 800 ha−1 + KAN (calcium ammonium nitrate) 240 ha−1; 400 MCB (water-soluble fertilizer 13:11:20 2MgO microelements humic acid) 300 125 KMg Multi 13:0:43 2MgO) 100 600 on yield other productivity...
