STRUCTURAL REMEDIATION OF AN ALFISOL BY MEANS OF SEWAGE SLUDGE AMENDMENTS IN ASSOCIATION WITH YELLOW SERRADELA (Ornithopus compressus L.)
Wastewater treatment generates large amounts of sewage sludge, which when are disposed in highly degraded soils (with a complete loss of the A horizon and a great part of the B horizon), represent an interesting alternative to recover the aggregate level into soil. Within the hierarchy of soil syste...
