“…Whilst composting has been widely used for the treatment of winery wastes [1,2,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11], there are very few studies on the application of vermicomposting as a methodological alternative to recycling such wastes [3,[12][13][14]. Vermicomposting involves the biooxidation and stabilization of organic material but, in contrast to composting, it depends on the joint action of earthworms and microorganisms and does not involve a thermophilic stage [15].…”

“…In this study dehydrogenase activity increased with the application of organic amendments, reaching highest values in the treatments related to compost and mineral fertilizers probably due to high microbial load and appropriate nutrient source that allow keeping microorganisms physiologically active, and where mineral fertilizers can act as additional nutritional source. Romero et al (2010) reported that the application of organic matter from grape pomace increases dehydrogenase enzyme activity in soils with low organic carbon content. Similarly, Adak et al (2014) indicated that this enzyme increase with vermicompost addition.…”

The use of organic amendments is common under the concept of integrated nutrient management (INM) in Vitis vinifera (Table grape) -1 and 9.1 µg de TFP g -1 24h -1 , respectively. In addition, pH was similar in all treatments while electrical conductivity increased with application of mineral and organic amendments, reaching 0.41dS m -1 in T2 (HS+MF). Furthermore, yeast concentration increased with organic amendments or mineral. Correlation analysis indicated significant and positive relationships between PO4-P concentration with MF (0.579) and C (0.431) and nitrogen with MF (0.868). These results support that INM, which combines mineral fertilization and organic amendments, improve positive changes in chemical soil properties and C cycling measured in terms of enzymatic activity in V. vinifera.

“…The inhibitions of PAEs on soil urease and protease activities are probably due to the suppression of the microbial populations involved in N compounds hydrolysis; and/or the fact that PAEs cover N compounds and cell surface . Additionally, Romero et al (2010) pointed out that the lower urease activity in contaminated soil could be attributed to the ability of the soil to protect urease against other processes. Nevertheless, as described by Kandeler et al (1999), an additional carbon source in soil boosts overall urease and protease activity, which was also observed in our study.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of poultry manure (PM) on soil biological properties in DBP- and DEHP-contaminated soils. An indoor incubation experiment was conducted. Soil microbial biomass C (Cmic), soil enzymatic activities, and microbial phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) concentrations were measured during incubation period. The results indicated that except alkaline phosphatase activity, DBP and DEHP had negative effects on Cmic, dehydrogenase, urease, protease activities, and contents of total PLFA. However, 5 % PM treatment alleviated the negative effects of PAEs on the above biochemical parameters. In DBP-contaminated soil, 5 % PM amendment even resulted in dehydroenase activity and Cmic content increasing by 17.8 and 11.8 % on the day 15 of incubation, respectively. During the incubation periods, the total PLFA contents decreased maximumly by 17.2 and 11.6 % in DBP- and DEHP-contaminated soils without PM amendments, respectively. Compared with those in uncontaminated soil, the total PLFA contents increased slightly and the value of bacPLFA/fugalPLFA increased significantly in PAE-contaminated soils with 5 % PM amendment. Nevertheless, in both contaminated soils, the effects of 5 % PM amendment on the biochemical parameters were not observed with 10 % PM amendment. In 10 % PM-amended soils, DBP and DEHP had little effect on Cmic, soil enzymatic activities, and microbial community composition. At the end of incubation, the effects of PAEs on these parameters disappeared, irrespective of PM amendment. The application of PM ameliorated the negative effect of PAEs on soil biological environment. However, further work is needed to study the effect of PM on soil microbial gene expression in order to explain the change mechanisms of soil biological properties.
