Using organic amendments to fertilise crops is a crucial part in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The residual slurry remaining after biogas production (anaerobic digestate) contains rich source plant nutrients that provides an alternative mineral fertilisers. delivery many plants facilitated by healthy soil biota: free-living and symbiotic microflora (e.g. archaea, bacteria fungi) mineralize, solubilize facilitate uptake fauna protozoa, microarthopods earthworms) influence nutrient cycling processes as higher-level consumers litter transformers. via activity this food web influenced fertiliser inputs. Here we review impact anaerobic digestate on biota. quantity composition carbon has large heterotrophic microbial dynamics their subsequent bioavailability. main points are (1) low little effect microorganisms, whereas higher increases abundance diversity; (2) labile stimulates fast-growing bacteria, recalcitrant shifts community favour slower-growing fungi Gram-positive bacteria; (3) earthworms, springtails nematodes dwelling surface layer can be negatively affected application due toxicity when compounds such ammonia present high concentrations. Generalized understanding digestates biota made difficult differences properties caused varying feedstock methods inherent heterogeneity soil. There lack research investigating repeated subsequently health. This information would give end users more confidence substitute fertilisers with digestate.

Abstract The sludge treatment reed bed is a sustainable sewage management technology that offers promising dewatering and stabilisation, due to its low energy labour requirements, minimal operating maintenance costs. Despite numerous existing studies increasing applications of in both developed developing countries, the lack standard system configurations regimes led several operational problems, including clogging poor mineralisation efficiency. Sludge stabilisation STBRs are complex processes governed by system- operation-related factors such as substrate media, macrophytes, loading regime, characteristics, climate conditions. Rather than experimental study, process-based modelling has become approach investigating influence specific on efficiency stabilisation. This paper presents an overview critical parameters beds summary interactions between factors. Then, framework proposed, which provides useful platform study other supports design optimisation beds.

This study highlighted the potential for greywater reuse in irrigation of olive trees. An experimental field was set up a household Soukra, located northwest Tunis City, to test performance vertical treatment. Treated (TGW) used two tree varieties (Chétoui and Picholine) during five years. The results show high treatment, as reflected by good quality TGW. chemical biological parameters this TGW are under threshold values Tunisian Norms Wastewaters agriculture use (NT106.03).
