| Description | Soil organic matter is highly relevant to soil functions and supporting functions such as soil structure, water retention, and soil life. In a field experiment that lasted for 3 year, a fibre rich digestate with reduces levels of N and P was applied in on sandy soils (arable fields and grasslands) to see if nitrate leaching could be reduced. In order to fully understand the effect of the amendment on soil functions, additional analyses can be done on relevant soil biological and soil physical parameters. |
