Abstract:Dredged materials are often considered as candidates for replenishing lost topsoils in the watersheds of rivers and lakes. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of Lake Erie dredged material on the microbial community in a farm soil of Northwestern Ohio. Dredged material from the Toledo Harbor, OH was mixed with a local farm soil at ratios of 0:100, 10:90, 20:80, and 100:0 for soybean growth in a greenhouse for 123 days and was subject to 16S rRNA gene sequencing. α‐Diversity analysis revealed that altho… Show more
