This paper finds uniqueness in deriving 10 maturity parameters, 6 stability parameters with one parameter as confirmatory test of compost toxicity. It was concluded from the study that the Water Soluble Carbon (WSC) and Organic Nitrogen (Org. N) ratio is the key regulator of maturity parameter and the dehydrogenase (DHA) activity is important factor for compost stability.]]> Wed 31 Mar 2021 09:47:16 AEDT ]]> Soil enzymes and microbial elemental stoichiometry as bio-indicators of soil quality in diverse cropping systems and nutrient management practices of Indian Vertisols https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42372 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:52:25 AEDT ]]> Novel bio-filtration method for the removal of heavy metals from municipal solid waste https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41810 40%) and Cd (>20%). Aspergillus heteromorphus based bio-filters was the most efficient to remove Cu and Cr from MSWC (20%). Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus heteromorphus, Rhizomucor pusillus and Aspergillus flavus based bio-filters were equally effective for elicitation of Zn (30%) and Ni (>30%) toxicity. Differential minimum inhibitory concentration, uptake of HMs, bio-sorption capacity of HMs by fungi resulted in unequal efficacy of fungal bio-filters.]]> Wed 07 Feb 2024 17:59:49 AEDT ]]> Thermophilic ligno-cellulolytic fungi: the future of efficient and rapid bio-waste management https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42379 Tricoderma viride, Rhizomucor pusillus, Aspergillus awamori and Aspergillus flavus can accelerate decomposition time from 8 to 12 months (which is normal farming practice) to 120 days.]]> Tue 23 Aug 2022 11:15:23 AEST ]]> Does soil organic carbon quality or quantity govern relative temperature sensitivity in soil aggregates? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41174 Thu 28 Jul 2022 10:30:16 AEST ]]> Soil organic carbon dynamics in a Chhattisgarh Vertisol after use of a rice-wheat system for 16 years https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33399 Thu 25 Oct 2018 10:13:44 AEDT ]]>
