“…Spreading liquid food industry by-products enriches the soil with nutrients and organic matter, but also enhances the risk of anoxia (Gemtos et al, 1999), since it increases soil moisture, stimulates O 2 consumption by supplying organic C (Lahlah et al, 2009) and decreases soil structural stability González, 2005, 2006). It thus increases the risk of anaerobic microbial activity (Stemmler et al, 2004) and can induce reduction of Fe in oxyhydroxide form or contained in the clay crystal structure (FeStr) (Lovley, 1991;Ona-Nguema et al, 2002;Stucki, 1997;Kostka et al, 2002;Berthelin et al, 2006).…”
