“…The experiment demonstrated the suitability of the resulting soil mixtures for use as a growth medium for lawn grass used in urban landscaping, road construction and embankment [44]. There is practically no correlation between the waste/peat soil ratio in the resulting soil mixture and the qualitative parameters of plant growth [32]. The qualitative parameters of plant growth include the rate of their growth, density, height of the leaves, the state of the structure, and the color of the leaves.…”

“…Various kinds of soils [29] can be added to the waste, but for the northern regions, the most relevant is the use of peat soil. The possibility of using peat as a basis for plant growth is also confirmed by scientific research [30][31][32][33][34][35]. The efficiency of utilization is increased by increasing the amount of waste in the soil mixture, provided that the fertility requirement is met.…”

The article presents the results of research on the bioproductivity of ecologically clean waste generated during excavation work on subway construction sites and other underground construction. It is proposed to use waste as one of the components of soil mixture preparation. In the course of the work, soil mixtures varied in relation to the waste/peat soil. A number of laboratory experiments on the germination of a lawn grass mixture, widely used in the improvement of cities, was set up. Based on the results of the work, recommendations were proposed for compiling a methodology for studying artificial soil mixture

Natural peatlands are home to a wide variety of animals and plants and provide ecosystem services for humans and the environment. Peatlands in Jambi are still not appropriately managed, partly because of the lack of community knowledge regarding peat. This study reveals the knowledge and perceptions of junior high school students about peat, the factors that influence it, and its implementation in science learning. We conducted the study on 228 junior high school students and 21 science teachers in Tanjung Jabung Timur. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and focused discussions. Data were analyzed descriptively. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using Smart PLS to determine the relationship between students' background, perceptions, and interactions with their knowledge of peat. Students' knowledge of peat is in a low category. The level of student's knowledge is significantly influenced by their experiences (interactions) with peatlands and their perceptions of these resources. The student's family background does not affect students' knowledge of peat.

“…Probably the most significant is peat, which has been intensively used in agriculture for over a hundred years [15]. Its high value as a regulator of soil structure and water-holding capacity is still of interest to many researchers [16][17][18][19]. Recent trends to protect humid environments motivated researchers to replace peat with other biomass derivatives, among which biochar emerged as highly promising [20].…”

Knowledge of the effects of different organic species on soil structure and strength is gained mostly from experiments on natural soils amended with organic substances of various particle sizes, pH, ionic composition, and inorganic impurities. It greatly diversifies the experimental results and shadows individual effects of organic amendments. Therefore, to look for a clearer view, we examined the impact of HCl-washed clay-size organic species: peat, humic acids, residue after humic acid extraction, and two biochars, all derived from the same peat and having similar particles, on the structure and strength of artificial soil silt aggregates using mercury intrusion porosimetry, bulk density measurements, SEM, and uniaxial compression. Bulk density increased due to humic acid addition and decreased for the other amendments. The total pore volumes behaved oppositely. All organic substances except humic acid decreased the pore surface fractal dimension, indicating a smoothening of the pore surface. Humic acid appeared to occupy mostly the spaces between the silt grains skeleton, while the other species were also located upon silt grains. The latter effect was most evident for 600 °C heated biochar. Humic acid, peat, and the residue after humic acid extraction improved mechanical stability, whereas both biochars weakened the aggregates, which means that bulk density plays a smaller role in the mechanical stability of granular materials, as it is usually considered. A new equation relating maximum stress and the amount of the organic additives was proposed.
