Role of organic amendment application on soil quality, functionality and greenhouse emission in a limestone quarry from semiarid ecosystems

One strategy for restoring degraded soils by opencast mining in semiarid regions is the application of organic amendments. However, selecting an appropriate organic amendment that improves soil quality and functionality for recovery in the short-term without a high contribution to increased CO₂ emissions is important for improving restoration strategies. Therefore, the objective of this work was to study the short and medium-term changes in...
