Summary

, respectively. They also enhanced stable and recalcitrant organic carbon fractions by up to 48 % and 57 %. Furthermore, biosolids improved soil biological fertility by boosting total enzymatic activity and microbial biomass carbon, which increased by 76 % compared to the unamended control at the end of the incubation. Overall, biosolids stabilized in CWs can be effective organic amendments, producing results comparable to other amendments.
