“…There are a few results which indicate the positive effect of vermicompost on germination and early growth of seedlings (Lazcano et al 2010 ), as well as on morphological and physiological quality of four genotypes of pine (Atik 2014 ; Atik and Yilmaz 2014 ). In turn, Pérez-Piqueres et al ( 2018 ) observed the lack of a clearly beneficial effect of vermicompost as a root-growth promoter of four genotypes, also of pine. To date, the properties of forest nursery soils enriched with vermicompost have not been assessed, also with regard to other tree species.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the changes in chemical and microbial properties and enzymatic activity of soil enriched with vermicompost derived from household waste. The vermicompost was tested in the rhizosphere of Larix decidua seedlings cultivated in 10-L pots in: (i) nursery soil (as the control), (ii) soil with 10% v/v vermicompost, and (iii) with 20% v/v vermicompost. The impact of vermicompost was assessed in terms of soil C/N ratio; bacterial, fungal, and nematode counts; and enzymatic activity. It was found that vermicompost increased the C/N ratio from 21 to 32, as well as the content of nitrate from 78 to 134 mg kg−1, of ammonium from 14 to 139 mg kg−1, of phosphorus from 92 to 521 mg kg−1, and of potassium from 142 to 1912 mg kg−1, compared with the control soil. The abundance of beneficial bacteria was increased (from 8.61 × 107 to 37.9 × 107), along with decreases in microbiological ratios of fungi and bacteria (e.g. fungi/Bacillus from 0.18818 to 0.00425). A significant 2- to 4-fold increase was observed compared with the control in the number of beneficial nematodes belonging to bacterivorous, fungivorous, and predatory groups with no change in the abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes. Addition of vermicompost brought about a change in soil enzyme activity. Vermicompost reduced the activity of alkaline phosphatase only. Both doses of vermicompost led to an increase in the activity of acid phosphatase, inorganic pyrophosphatase, dehydrogenases, β-glucosidase, and urease. Only the higher dose had an effect on increasing the activity of o-diphenol oxidase and proteases. No significant change was observed for nitrate reductase. Also, the presence of antibiotics produced by bacteria was detected depending on the dose of vermicompost, e.g. iturin (ituC) and bacillomycin (bmyB) were found in soil with a dose of 20% v/v vermicompost. Overall, vermicompost produced from household waste can be an excellent organic fertilizer for larch forest nurseries.

“…Many of the reviewed papers show a positive relationship between CE and conservation of ecosystems, stating that CE can ensure the sustainability of forest ecosystem services [34,55,58,88]. Indeed, the relationship between CE and the environment is interactive and forest ecosystem services can benefit in different ways-not only by reducing the demand for natural resources, but also through employing suitable management approaches to improve the nutritional state of forests, i.e., use of chestnut forest green waste as valuable seeding media for sustainable cultivation, use of organic by-products and composts to substitute the mineral fertilizers and substrates in Pinus halepensis forestry, and utilization of urban green waste compost or municipal waste compost for soil improvement in afforested land [39,89,90].…”

The role of a forest sector in the transition to a circular economy (CE) is critical. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to summarize the main findings of the most important published articles and to provide insights on the interdisciplinary space at the interface of concepts related to a forest-based CE. Moreover, it attempts to assess the challenges raised from adopting the CE in forest sector. Through a systematic literature review, 69 scientific publications were selected and evaluated by two sights: (i) a descriptive analysis and (ii) a cluster analysis of the keywords related to the forest-based CE. The study highlights the need for additional survey on optimizing the interaction between forest ecosystem services and circular economy. Further discussion is also needed about the relations of the key factors associated with the forest-based circular economy, as they emerged from the cluster analysis and the co-occurrence network map.

“…is one of the Mediterranean widespread evergreen trees that can grow mainly at the thermo-and meso-Mediterranean bioclimatic belts and in the lower altitudes, mainly, in neutral or slightly alkaline low fertile soil (Pulford and Watson, 2003;Conesa and Pàrraga-Aguado, 2019;Pàrraga-Aguado et al, 2014c). It tolerate winter temperatures below 10°C and precipitation 350-700 mm (Pérez-Piqueres et al, 2018;Querejeta et al, 2008). The P. halepensis high metal tolerance (Pulford and Watson, 2003;Conesa and Pàrraga-Aguado, 2019) and its ability for restoration of degraded soil in arid and semi-arid areas have been frequently noted (Querejeta et al, 2008;Pàrraga-Aguado et al, 2013); as well as its high efficiency in the use of water and nutrients in low fertility soils of mining wastes (Sardans et al, 2005).…”

The plant species Pinus halepensis grows spontaneously on heavily polluted mine tailings dumps of Campo Pisano (Sardinia, southwestern Italy). The area is characterized mainly by Zn, Pb, and Cd.Sampling campaign was done, related to soils and plant materials (roots, barks, wood, and needles), aimed at evaluating the main mineralogical characteristics, metal content, plant accumulation, and translocation behavior. The polluted substrates were composed of pyrite, dolomite, calcite, quartz, gypsum, and barite with iron sulphate, and iron oxide. Zn ore minerals (smithsonite) and muscovite detected mostly in the deeper soil layers. Zn was the most abundant metal in the substrate as well as plant tissues. Roots accumulated high metal concentrations (664.65-2710 Zn, 58.39-735.88 Pb, and 4.86-11.02 mg kg -1 Cd) reflecting high metal contamination in soil. The biological accumulation and translocation values were reported below one for all plant tissues. Pb, Zn and Cd Translocation Factor (TF) in needles ranged 0.03-0.32, 0.03-0.19, 0.04-0.14. Biological Concentration Factor (BCF) estimated up to 0.17, 0.18, and 0.19, respectively. A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2Results indicate that P. halepensis is an excluder, tolerates high Zn, Pb, and Cd concentrations, restricts their accumulation and translocation to the aerial parts and may be applied for long-term phytostabilization and revegetation processes in abandoned mine tailing sites.
