The Chemical Composition of Biogas Digestates Determines Their Effect on Soil Microbial Activity

The Chemical Composition of Biogas Digestates Determines Their Effect on Soil Microbial Activity

Digestates are commonly used as organic inputs in agriculture. This study aimed to answer four questions: (1) What are the immediate and longer-term impacts of digestates on soil microbial activity?; (2) How much of the digestates’ carbon is mineralized within the first months? (3) How do the nitrog...
