Algae have an indisputable role in coastal ecosystems but their accumulation and uncontrolled proliferation cause severe damage for the local municipalities. Fertilization with seaweed has been shown to increase soil fertility and crop production reducing ultimately the need for inorganic fertilizers. However, contradictory results of the compost e...
Peat is the predominant component of growing media in soilless horticultural systems. However, peat extraction from peatlands destroys these fragile ecosystems and emits greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Peat replacement by other growing media is, thus, paramount to ensure a more sustainable horticultural sector. This study investigated the agronomic...
We checked the effect of biochar addition to a fertile temperate soil on plant growth and the quantity and quality of seeds of four varieties of wheat (Triticum spp., two “ancient” varieties, Verna and Senatore Cappelli, and two “modern” varieties, Bologna and Claudio) and a high oleic hybrid of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Relatively novel is...
Accumulating evidence suggests that warming associated with climate change is decreasing the total amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) in drylands, although scientific research has not given enough emphasis to particulate (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) pools. Biocrusts are a major biotic feature of drylands and have large impact...
Biochar aging may affect the interactions of biochar with water and thus its performance as soil amendment; yet the specific mechanisms underlying these effects are poorly understood. By means of FTIR, N2 adsorption, Hg intrusion porosimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, ¹³C solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ¹H NMR relaxometry, we inv...
Purpose
Coffee silverskin (CS) is the integument covering the raw coffee bean, representing the primary waste product of the coffee-roasting industry. Despite the growing attention in seeking potential reuse of this material, the majority of CS is commonly used as a firelighter or discharged to landfills. The study aimed to test co-composting as a...
Agro-industrial composts represent both a sustainable alternative to inorganic fertilizers and a waste recycling management tool. Albeit, there is still a great deal of uncertainty as to what extent their use can contribute to the global N2O budget. Here, two different composts [olive waste “alperujo” (AC) and biosolid (BC)] were tested during a th...
Traditional olive groves are considered at high risk of erosion and desertification due to low organic matter inputs and scarce vegetation cover coupled to highly intensity tillage, leading to a further decrease in soil organic carbon contents. In a context of climate change, carbon sequestration through waste management in the framework of a circu...

Purpose
Seaweed blooms are an irregular but frequent phenomenon in many coastal areas and during the touristic season, can cause limitations for recreational use of beaches. Here, we propose composting of seaweed removed from the shoreline as alternative to current management practices (e.g. disposal in landfills or incineration).

A collapse of soil microbial diversity, mainly due to chemical inputs, has been reported to lead to the degradation of conventional agroecosystems. The use of compost from urban and agricultural waste management, in order to achieve a net gain in the storage of C, is an adequate management of agricultural soils, especially in rainfed conditions. Ho...
The application of biochar is presumed to be a climate change mitigation strategy in agriculture.
However, we still need to better understand the effects of biochar application on soil properties, particularly on soil microbial activity. This is because soil microorganisms play a key role in ecosystems functioning, as they have a central role in so...
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of compost produced with agricultural residues and oat-based biochar, iron oxide and halloysite nanoparticles as additives of the process of composting on soil chemical properties, nutrient status and growth of ryegrass Lolium perenne L. For this, a 90-day mesocosm experiment was carried out under gre...
Increasing food production while avoiding the progressive degradation of agricultural soils has become one of the major challenges at a global level. In consequence, the development of sustainable tillage methodologies or cultivation strategies is an important subject of current research. In fact, it has been observed that the implementation of red...
Organic waste from greens of tomato plants, gardening substrate, rice husks and shrimp-derived chitin were pyrolyzed at 400 °C and 500 °C for 3 h, with the aim to elucidate the feasibility of using such products as replacement of peat in soilless gardening substrates. Characterization of the carbonized organic matter (COM) and the gardening substra...
Mediterranean ecosystems are especially sensitive to the effects of intensive agriculture. Therefore, sustainable practices based on the protection of organic matter and water in soil are of great interest in these systems. Among these practices, tillage and crop rotation could induce changes in soil properties and consequently on soil microbial co...
In a context of global change, soil has been identified
as a potential carbon (C) sink, depending on land-use strategies. To detect
the trends in carbon stocks after the implementation of new agricultural
practices, early indicators, which can highlight changes in short timescales, are required.
This study proposes the combined use of stable isotop...
Soils can act as a carbon sink, and the chemical and biological transformation of vegetal litter into soil organic matter (SOM) is widely influenced by land-use and other biogeochemical parameters. However, the increase of new carbon inputs to soil has the potential to trigger the mineralization of stabilized SOM, a process called priming effect.
T...
Biochar application is now considered to be one of the most promising agricultural practices to mitigate climate change. However, to fully assess the benefits of biochar, we still need to better understand its effects on soil properties, and particularly on native soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics.
In this work, we investigated soil respiration an...
Abstract. In a context of global change, soil has been identified as a potential carbon (C) sink, depending on land-use strategies. To detect the trends of carbon stocks after the implementation of new agricultural practices, early indicators, which can highlight changes in short timescales are required.

The growing interest in bioenergy crops that do not compete with food production for land use has promoted the implementation of low‐input crops on marginal lands. However, these crops can be highly limited by the low soil nutrient and water availability in these lands. In this work, biosolid compost (BC) was applied to improve the quality of a deg...
Stable isotopes probing is among the most used methods applied in the studies of paleoenvironment. Isotope signatures of sediments are influenced by different environmental conditions such as climate, salinity, and plant coverage at the time those sediments were deposited, representing an inestimable value for paleoenvironmental reconstruction and...
The study of different natural carbon sinks has become especially important because of climate change effects. The restoration of contaminated areas can be an ideal strategy for carbon sequestration. The studied area was affected by toxic Aznalcóllar mine spill in 1998. Restoration process of the contaminated area was based, mainly, on the use of t...
Conservation agriculture (CA) is an important strategy to improve the quality of surface soils under Mediterranean conditions and its primary intent is to minimize the mineralization of soil organic matter (SOM). The focus of this manuscript is to evaluate how soil quality indices (e.g., enzymatic activity, total organic carbon (TOC), and labile ca...
En general, las prácticas de no laboreo (NL) tienen una incidencia positiva, a
largo plazo, en la mejora de la fertilidad del suelo y en la reducción de la erosión. Sin
embargo, también puede presentar algunos inconvenientes i) excesiva compactación del
suelo, ii) problemas de infiltración y iii) dificultad en la emergencia del cultivo. Estos

The objective of this project is to evaluate the role that soil organic matter plays in the resistance of agricultural soils to drought, using field experiments in two Spanish locations in the Center and South of the Iberian Peninsula. These field experiments are designed to evaluate the short- and long- term effects of the application of organic composts from urban wastes. In one of the sites the effects of conservation tillage will be also studied. The ultimate goal is to elucidate whether these sustainable soil management techniques (conservation tillage and reuse of organic waste as amendment) have the potential to mitigate the effect of the probable reduction of rainfall on the functioning of the soils in rainfed conditions.
The main objective of this study is to determine the stable isotopic composition of organic matter (δ13CORG) and lignin extracted from this organic matter of submerged vascular plant Stuckenia pectinata (L.) Böerner, collected from the gradient of salinity environments to analyse whether it reflects reproducible differences compatible with the diversity of occupied habitats.
