This study investigates changes in the microbiological community of two co-composting mixtures of activated sludge and date palm waste over a 6-month period. The use of the co-composting time extract medium to evaluate the abundance of cultivable indigenous microflora showed that the total microbial biomass was higher during the thermophilic phase. The mesophilic microflora was […]
Purpose The deterioration of agricultural soil can be alleviated by maintaining an appropriate level of soil organic matter by using organic amendments such as compost and biochar. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of olive waste-based compost, wood-based biochar and their combination on the chemical and microbial properties of loamy clay […]
