Organic amendments as sustainable tool to recovery fertility in intensive agricultural systems (2015, background): “This behaviour could be likely attributed to the potential toxic effect of the trace elements present in this particular compost (Garcia-Gil et al., 2000; Crecchio et al., 2004).”
A critical review of the bioavailability and impacts of heavy metals in municipal solid waste composts compared to sewage sludge. (2009, methodology): “Crecchio et al. (2004) speculated that the absence of an increase in microbial activity at the higher rate of organic matter input in compost could be attributed to heavy metal toxicity and protease was possibly more sensitive to metals in soil compared to the other enzymes assayed, but there was…”
The biological activities of β-glucosidase, phosphatase and urease as soil quality indicators: a review (2017, background): “Furthermore, the joint application of vermicompost or municipal solid waste compost and mineral N fertilizer revealed higher phosphate activity than the separate application of the fertilizers to soil (Crecchio et al., 2004; Srivastava et al., 2012).”
Molecular and functional responses of soil microbial communities under grassland restoration (2008, background): “movement in soils or leading to heavymetal pollution, for example (Zelles et al., 1992; Crecchio et al., 2004; Marschner et al., 2003; Saison et al., 2006).”
