“…Similarly, Msimbira and Smith [24] highlight the direct influence of pH variations on nutrient availability and microbial community structure. Secondly, it is proposed that Rekulter application will affect soil sorption properties, as discussed by Agim et al [12], Gł ąb et al [13], Albano et al [26], and Larney and Angers [27]. Organic amendments, such as Rekulter, can influence nutrient retention and availability, as highlighted in these studies.…”

“…The literature suggests that organic amendments, including lignite-based fertilizers, can influence soil pH [10], organic carbon content [11], nutrient availability [12,13], and microbial activity [14]. These amendments have been shown to enhance soil fertility [15], improve crop yields [16], and promote sustainable agricultural practices [17].…”

“…Organic amendments, such as Rekulter, can influence nutrient retention and availability, as highlighted in these studies. Agim et al [12] emphasize the role of organic matter in moisture retention and nutrient availability, while Gł ąb et al [13] discuss how organic amendments can influence soil nutrient retention and availability. Thirdly, it is posited that Rekulter application may lead to changes in soil particle size distribution, as explored by Agim et al [12], Cui et al [11], and Dong et al [28].…”

This study aimed to investigate the impact of Rekulter, a lignite-based fertilizer, on various soil parameters, with a focus on promoting sustainable agricultural practices. A multi-year field trial was conducted in Klon, Poland, employing potentiometric techniques, spectrophotometry, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze soil samples. Established laboratory procedures were used to assess pH value, sorption properties, granulometric composition, organic carbon content (OC), total nitrogen (TN), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenolic compounds (PCs), and the fractional composition of organic matter. Hypothesis-driven experiments, including Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s HSD post hoc tests, were utilized to examine the effects of Rekulter application on soil characteristics. Significant differences were found in organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenolic compounds (PCs), and fractional organic matter composition among the Rekulter variants. This study underscores the dose-dependent effects of Rekulter on soil properties and provides insights into optimizing application rates for sustainable soil management. Recommendations include tailoring agricultural interventions based on soil characteristics and environmental considerations, integrating organic amendments with mineral fertilizers, and promoting balanced approaches to reclamation. This research contributes to ongoing efforts to improve agricultural sustainability and mitigate environmental impacts, guiding practices that balance productivity with environmental stewardship.

“…There are two categories of soil amendments: (1) organic materials, such as biochar, straw, pomace, manure, sawdust, and compost, and (2) inorganic materials, including sand, gypsum, vermiculite, zeolite, and lignite [24,25]. Soil amendments, both organic and inorganic, improve the physical and biological properties of soil, increase carbon sequestration, restore saline and contaminated soils, and increase crop yields and fertilizer efficiency [26]. Generally, their impact on soil quality is primarily positive, regardless of the climate conditions and soil type [27].…”

Soil degradation threatens global food security and environmental sustainability, necessitating effective soil management strategies. This review comprehensively examines the impact of organic soil amendments on soil quality and productivity across various soil types and climatic conditions. A review of significant research related to organic amendments was performed using encompassed data from online search engines for studies published up until 31 December 2023. Despite their heterogeneity and use of varying methodologies, the data were narratively synthesized, providing a comprehensive understanding of amendment-induced changes in the chemical and physical properties of soil and the effectiveness of restoration on soil degradation. Organic amendments, including compost, vermicompost, biochar, and pomace, are pivotal in enhancing soil quality by increasing soil organic matter content, fostering aggregate formation, and improving soil structure in the short term. They positively influence water retention capacity, pH levels, nutrient availability, and carbon sequestration. In several studies, amendment-induced changes were absent, indicating that the effects of amendments vary depending on soil texture, application rates, and cropping systems, which emphasizes the need for tailored, sustainable soil management practices. This study concludes that organic amendments are a promising option for structure improvement and organic matter accumulation. It further suggests that an approach that integrates various methods is essential in order to meet desirable soil quality and retain agricultural productivity and offers valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. Organic amendments can improve soil ecosystem services and contribute to climate change adaptation. In the future, more attention should be directed to tillage management and soil amendment interaction, as well as their effectiveness over specific periods of time.
