The different sources of organic fertilizers when available in soils play significant roles in establishing appropriate microbial ecology, make available soil nutrients, moisture levels, and change the biochemical and biophysical properties. In problem soils, in particular acid soils, where acidity, low nutrient availability, and toxicity are conce...

... pointed out above, the availability of most soil nutrients is pH-dependent (Table 2). The as soil pH drops below 5 units ( Fig. 3). At this pH, the availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, enhances the growth of high plants but makes the soil conducive for microbial ecology to 367 establish and improve the productivity of the soil (Bulgarelli et al., 2013 ...

... et al., 2008). When predator microbes engulf microbes or decompose death ones, 410 the microbial biomass becomes a significant contributor to OFs. Depending on the soil types 411 and conditions, the microbial biomass nitrogen can be as high as 70% and the nitrogen 412 released can be as high as 80% (Murphy et al., 1998 increases as pH decreases (Fig. 3). The conventional method of managing soil acidity is the ...

Calciphyte species form a systematically and structurally heterogeneous group of plants capable of tolerating highly stressful conditions. Various structural adaptations occur in calciphytes to protect them against excess light (leaf pubescence) and moisture loss (waxy coating). Their shoot structure determines the volume of primary plant productio...
