Sustained tillage and continual applications of phytopharmaceutical and fertilizers using heavy machineries frequently give rise to soil erosion, loss of soil organic matter (SOM), and contamination phenomena in Mediterranean vineyards. Due to their distinctive properties, applying natural zeolites to vineyard soils can conceivably affect the efficient use of fertilizers and reduce nutrient leaching losses. This work assesses the impact of zeolite amendment at differing rates (0, 5 and 10 t ha‐1) on the chemical and biochemical soil properties of three vineyard soils after six months from initial treatments. In particular, chemical properties usually related to soil fertility were evaluated along with more sensitive indicators of soil functionality and indicators of chemical‐structural characteristics of SOM. The vineyard soils amended with zeolite showed higher nutrient availability and dehydrogenase activity if compared with the control soils. In addition, even though total organic carbon (TOC) content was unchanged, a decrease in humic substances was observed in the zeolite treated soils. These results suggested that the stimulation of soil microbial processes by adding zeolite triggered a microbial mineralization process of soil organic carbon stocks. In addition the modification in the chemical‐structural composition of soil organic matter in zeolite treated soils was shown by the pyrolysis‐gas chromatography (Py‐GC) results. Py‐CG of soil organic matter clearly demonstrated an increase in the labile aliphatic compound furfural and a decline in the more stable aromatic pyrolytic fragments in zeolite‐treated soils in contrast with the control soils, thus indicating the higher extent of decomposition of the SOM more stable pool.

In 2013, a pilot experimental field of about 15 ha was set up within the basin of Lake Massaciuccoli (Tuscany, Italy) in order to compare different management strategies—a paludicultural system (PCS), a constructed wetland system (CWS), a nearly-natural wetland system (NWS)—for peatland restoration after almost a century of drainage-based agricultural use (CS). After five years, changes in peat soil quality were investigated from a chemical, biochemical, and ecoenzymatic perspective. The soil in CS was mainly characterized by oxidant conditions, higher content of overall microbial activity, low levels of easily available phosphorus for vegetation, and medium total carbon content ranging from 25.0% to 30.7%. In PCS, the levels of total carbon and the content of bioavailable P were higher, while the oxidant conditions were lower compared to the other systems. As expected, the soils in CWS and NWS were characterized by the most reduced conditions and by the highest levels of arylsulphatase activity. It was noteworthy that soils in the NWS systems were characterized by the highest level of nonavailable P. Outputs from ecoenzymatic activity confirmed the physico-chemical and biochemical results.

In order to obtain a product with agronomic characteristics and biological stability consistent with the EU fertilizer decree for the market of EU fertilising products three different mixtures obtained from sludge digestate from municipal wastewater treatment plant, fresh compost and mature compost have been studied and characterized. For the experimental activity, the raw samples and three mixing ones were collected for the analytical characterization. The biological stability was then assessed for all samples using different stability criteria such as Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate, Rottegrad self-heating factor, Residual biogas potential. Specific enzymatic tests provided information about the status of nutrient cycles (C, P and S) and to overall microbial activity. Physical (bulk density, particle density, air capacity and water content), nutritional (C, N, P, K, Mg, and Ca) and toxicological properties (seedling growth tests on Lepidum sativum L., Cucumis sativus L., Lolium perenne L.) were also evaluated in order to assess the feasibility of agronomic use of the digestate-based mixtures. All the digestate-based mixtures responded to the main characteristics of compost quality requirements proposed in national and international regulations. The evidence found in this study highlighted that the strategy of mixing of sludge digestates with the composts allowed to mitigate the environmental risk posed by each starting material and to valorize their nutrient content.

The purpose of this study was to monitor and model indicators of soil contamination, organic matter evolution and biochemical processes involved in a long-term phytoremediation process. Populus nigra L., Paulownia tomentosa Steud., Cytisus scoparius L. and natural vegetation were used in differently contaminated areas (high, medium and low levels of contamination). Parameters indicating contamination (total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and heavy metals) and agronomic (C, N and P) and functional (enzyme activities) soil recovery were monitored for 3.5 years. Three subareas with different levels of contamination (high, medium and low) were identified according to the Nemerow Index. A considerable decrease in TPH (52% on average) over time in the whole site was measured, while the metal reduction was only of about 22% at surface level. A stimulation in metabolic soil processes and improvement in the chemical quality of the soil was also observed throughout the experimental site. Statistical analysis modelling showed that the contaminant content decreased following a one-phase decay model, while the dramatic increase in enzyme activities could be represented by an exponential growth equation. On the basis of our data, it is possible to conclude that the initial contamination level affected neither the decontamination process nor the improvement in soil quality, which occurred similarly in the three different contaminated areas.

A significant example of circular economy application concept is the recycling of wastes through co-composting to obtain techno-soils and composts. The objective of this paper was to demonstrate that the co-composting of Posidonia oceanica residues with decontaminated sediments is an effective method to manage two kinds of waste and transform them in a suitable material for the preparation of growth substrates. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the co-composting process, a protocol, involving physical–chemical, biochemical, and toxicological parameters, has been followed. Moreover, to evaluate the quality of the different Posidonia-based composts, the characteristics have been compared with threshold values proposed in the Italian regulation for plant growth substrates and to specific parameters from the scientific literature. All the obtained composts responded to the main characteristics for composting and growing media preparation provided in national and international regulations, in terms of pH (6.7–7.6), electrical conductivity (0.13–0.30 dS/m), and total organic carbon content (6.62–27.9 C%). Moreover, results about humic carbon (16.6–21.9 C%), germination index (139–158%), enzymatic activities (B-glucosidase: 3538–5367 mmol MUB/kg ds H), bulk density (0.30–0.83 g/cm3), and cation exchange capacity (43.3–126 meq/100 g ds) proved the quality of the P. oceanica and sediment based composts. These results are an endorsement of Posidonia with sediment-based composts use as a constituent of techno-soils and, as a component for the preparation of nursery growth substrate. It is possible to claim that the co-composting process is an alternative management strategy for decontaminated sediments and P. oceanica residues to be recommended. Adequate policies are needed in order to recycle Posidonia oceanica residues and decontaminated sediments, namely two kinds of waste, into a secondary raw material, namely techno-soil, thus implementing the concept of the circular economy.

A harbour sediment, previously remediated, was tested for soilless strawberry cultivation (Camarosa and Monterey cultivars), as an innovative, cost-effective and environment-friendly approach of sediment management. Sediments were tested as such (TS100) and mixed 1/1 (v/v) with a peat-based commercial substrate (TS50), using the peat-based medium as control (TS0). Substrates were characterized for some physicochemical properties (e.g. density, porosity and water capacity). Minerals (P, Ca, K, Na and Fe), heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni, Cr, Pb and Cd), aliphatic hydrocarbons (C > 12), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans were analysed in substrates and fruits. Sugars and organic acids, including the ascorbic, were also determined in fruits, as quality indicators. Notwithstanding remediation, sediments showed concentrations of Zn (206 mg kg−1), C > 12 (86 mg kg−1) and PAHs (47 mg kg−1) exceeding the limits established by the Italian L.D. 152/2006, regulating the contamination of soil in green areas, thus making its relocation in the environment not permitted as such. No evidence of fruit contamination by Cr, Pb and Cd was highlighted. Moreover, Cu, Zn and Ni fruit concentrations were comparable among treatments. Conversely, Mn showed statistically higher concentrations in TS0 fruits (56–57 mg kg−1) compared to those grown in sediment-based substrates (8–20 mg kg−1). Among organic contaminants, only dioxin-like PCBs were determined in fruits, at toxic equivalent concentrations fourfold lower than the limit established by the European Union. TS100 fruits showed a yield reduction from 40 to 70% for Camarosa and Monterey, but higher sugar and ascorbic acid contents.

BACKGROUND The use of reclaimed dredged sediments as growing media may offer a profitable alternative to their disposal as a waste and at the same time meets the need of peat‐substitute substrates in horticulture. When sediments are reused to cultivate food crops, issues related to human health rise due to potential accumulation of contaminants in the product. This pilot study aimed at verifying the suitability of a reclaimed dredged port sediment, used pure or mixed with peat, as a growing medium for lettuce cultivation. RESULTS The pure sediment caused a reduction in crop yield probably due to its unsuitable physical properties, while the mixture sediment:peat and pure peat resulted in the same yield. Although the sediment contained potentially phytotoxic heavy metals and some organic pollutants, no symptoms of plant toxicity were noticed. Besides, no organic contaminants were detected in lettuce heads, and heavy metals amounts were not hazardous for the consumers. Conversely, plants grown in the sediment were particularly rich in minerals like Ca, Mg, and Fe, and showed higher concentrations of organic acids and antioxidants. CONCLUSION The use of the sediment as a growing medium for lettuce revealed to be safe for both inorganic and organic contaminants. Nevertheless, considering crop yield results, the mixture of the sediment with other materials is recommended in order to achieve a substrate with more suitable physico‐chemical properties for vegetable cultivation.

A total of 476 European isolates (310 Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii, 150 C. neoformans var. neoformans, and 16 C. gattii species complex) from both clinical and environmental sources were analyzed by multi-locus sequence typing. Phylogenetic and population genetic analyses were performed. Sequence analysis identified 74 sequence types among C. neoformans var. neoformans (VNIV), 65 among C. neoformans var. grubii (56 VNI, 8 VNII, 1 VNB), and 5 among the C. gattii species complex (4 VGI and 1 VGIV) isolates. ST23 was the most frequent genotype (22%) among VNI isolates which were mostly grouped in a large clonal cluster including 50% of isolates. Among VNIV isolates, a predominant genotype was not identified. A high percentage of autochthonous STs were identified in both VNI (71%) and VNIV (96%) group of isolates. The 16 European C. gattii species complex isolates analyzed in the present study originated all from the environment and all belonged to a large cluster endemic in the Mediterranean area. Population genetic analysis confirmed that VNI group of isolates were characterized by low variability and clonal expansion while VNIV by a higher variability and a number of recombination events. However, when VNI and VNIV environmental isolates were compared, they showed a similar population structure with a high percentage of shared mutations and the absence of fixed mutations. Also linkage disequilibrium analysis reveals differences between clinical and environmental isolates showing a key role of PLB1 allele combinations in host infection as well as the key role of LAC1 allele combinations for survival of the fungus in the environment. The present study shows that genetic comparison of clinical and environmental isolates represents a first step to understand the genetic characteristics that cause the shift of some genotypes from a saprophytic to a parasitic life style.

Dredging of potentially contaminated sediments from ports and waterways is an inevitable operation in order to maintain adequate depths for ship navigation. The fate of these sediments is an issue discussed worldwide due to their impact on human and environmental health. In this scenario, the aim of the present study is to provide an innovative eco-friendly and adaptable solution for dredged sediment decontamination and rehabilitation based on sediment washing followed by a biological treatment. The sediment washing, conducted at pilot scale, split the raw dredged sediment into two fractions of homogeneous particle size (silt-clay fraction and sand fraction). Sand fraction was characterized by a significant lower values of heavy metals and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) with respect to the silt-clay and raw sediment samples. The biological treatment, carried out at mesoscale level, consisted in the addiction of a mixture of microorganisms (with hydrocarbon degrading ability), enzymes, and nutrients (bioactivator product) to the three matrices (raw sediment, silt-clay and sand). After three months, in raw sediment and sand fraction, the bioactivator product allowed a 46% and 55% removal of TPH, respectively; instead, in silt-clay fraction this treatment was not able to degrade significant amount of organic pollutants (reduction percentage of TPH lower than 5%). Culture-dependent analysis showed higher concentration of microbial cells immediately after addition of the bioactivator product and a general increasing of microbial biomass in both treated and untreated samples at the end of the experimentation. Moreover, PCR-DGGE analysis evidenced that the composition of microbial population varied in relation to the different granulometric characteristics of the sediment and to the application of the bioactivator product. Thus, the results here reported showed that bacterial and fungal communities responded differently to the bioremediation treatment. These results seem very promising considering the complexity of the material to be decontaminated and the apparent difficulty of creating acceptable habitat for the operation of a biological active system.

Sediments dredged by an industrial port, slightly contaminated by heavy metals and petroleoum hydrocarbons, were phytoremediated and used as peat-free growing media for the red robin photinia (Photinia x fraseri L.). Plants were grown on sediment only (S), sediment mixed with composted pruning residues (S+PR), sediment fertilized with controlled release fertilizers (S+F) and peat-based growing media as control (C). Plant elongation and dry weight, leaf contents of chlorophyll, malondialdehyde (MDA), macronutrients and heavy metals were determined at the end of one growing season. Environmental impact related to the use of sediment-based as compared to peat-based growing media was assessed by the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). Sediment-based growing media presented significantly higher bulk density, pH and electrical conductivity values, lower C and N contents, and significantly higher total and available P. Red robin photinia grown on S+F growing media showed morphological and chemical parameters similar to those of control plants (C), whereas plants grown on S and S+PR showed lower growth. Leaf concentration of nutrients and heavy metals varied depending on the considered element and growing media, but were all within the common values for ornamental plants, whereas the highest MDA concentrations were found in plants grown on traditional growing media. The LCA indicated the use of sediments as growing media reduced the C footprint of ornamental plant production and the contribute of growing media to the environmental impact per produced plant. We concluded that sediments phytoremediation and use in plant nursery is a practical alternative re-use option for dredged sediments.

The sediments dredged from a waterway and decontaminated through a phytoremediation process have been used as substrates alternatively to the traditional forest nursery substrate for pot productions of holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) planting stocks. The substrates, made by mixing decontaminated sediments to agricultural soil at different degrees, were tested in order to evaluate their suitability as growth substrates. The experiment was carried out at the nursery of the Department of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Systems of the University of Florence (Italy). The experimental design consisted of four randomized blocks with six pots as replicates for each of the following treatments: 100% sediments, 66% sediments, 33% sediments, 100% agronomic soil and 100% traditional peat based substrate. In each pot, one holm oak acorn was seeded. Germination and both physiological and morphological traits of the seedlings were analysed during and at the end of the first growing season. Holm oak grown in phytoremediated sediments at higher concentrations showed germination levels comparable to those in the traditional substrate, and survival capacity (especially in 66% sediments) slightly higher than in 100% soil. Physiological performance of seedlings resembled that on the traditional substrate which required the addition of fertilizer, at least for the first growing season. Seedlings grown in mixed substrates with higher sediment concentrations occasionally showed better photosynthetic capacity with improved connectivity between the units of the photosystem II. At the end of the first growing season, height as well as the number of growth flushes of the seedlings grown in sole sediment or soil-sediment substrates were similar to what generally is observed for forest nursery stock of Quercus spp.. Regarding the root-system articulation and growth in depth, results in the mixed substrates were comparable to those for seedlings grown in the traditional forest nursery media, and higher than seedlings grown in 100% agronomic soil. According to our results, the reclamation of dredged sediments can provide appropriate nursery substrate for germination beds for forestry species.

Organic carbon is an important soil property that influences all the other chemical, physical, and biological soil properties and functions. In view of this, soil organic carbon plays a pivotal role in providing the main ecosystem services. Consequently, the adoption of soil management practices that reduce soil disturbance and increase the input and stabilization of organic matter can contribute not only to store carbon (C) for climate regulation, but also to enhance other ecosystem services derived from soil, such as soil stability, primary production, water-holding capacity, biodiversity, nutrient cycles, and soil fertility. The understanding of how soil organic carbon can be formed and conserved will assist policy makers and land managers to design environmentally acceptable sustainable management programs.

Fundamental niche prediction of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii in Europe is an important tool to understand where these pathogenic yeasts have a high probability to survive in the environment and therefore to identify the areas with high risk of infection. In this study, occurrence data for C. neoformans and C. gattii were compared by MaxEnt software with several bioclimatic conditions as well as with soil characteristics and land use. The results showed that C. gattii distribution can be predicted with high probability along the Mediterranean coast. The analysis of variables showed that its distribution is limited by low temperatures during the coldest season, and by heavy precipitations in the driest season. C. neoformans var. grubii is able to colonize the same areas of C. gattii but is more tolerant to cold winter temperatures and summer precipitations. In contrast, the C. neoformans var. neoformans map was completely different. The best conditions for its survival were displayed in sub‐continental areas and not along the Mediterranean coasts. In conclusion, we produced for the first time detailed prediction maps of the species and varieties of the C. neoformans and C. gattii species complex in Europe and Mediterranean area.

When canals and harbours are dredged, huge amount of polluted sediments has to be stocked and transported to the landfill with incredibly high costs of management. Among the remediation techniques for the reclamation of polluted sediments and soils, phytoremediation represents a sustainable and effective technique though still not fully promoted or commercialized. In this study we have tested the suitability for plant nursing of a substrate resulting from sediments dredged from a canal and treated with phytoremediation. The experiment was set up in 2014. It aimed to test the physical, chemical and hydrological characteristics of two mixes of remediated sediments and agronomic soil (at 33% and 50% by volume) compared to control soil (100% agronomic soil), and to assess the growth of three ornamental species (Viburnum tinus L., Photinia x fraseri var. red robin, Eleagnus macrophylla Thunb.) together with the suitability for root balling. The mixed substrates produced good results in terms of water drainage, and were similar to the control in terms of soluble nutrients, guaranteeing and enhancing the aboveground and belowground growth of all the three species, especially V. tinus. In contrast, mixed substrates impaired root ball compaction with root ball breakage observed especially in 50% sediment/soil mix. Therefore, the use of remediated sediments in plant nursery can be limited to specific productions or practices.

Sediments are fundamental resources for productive activities like plant nursing, which are also likely to be responsible of their loss. In contrast, other activities like the dredging of canals and waterways involve the extraction and continuous accumulation of sediments. Most dredged sediments are polluted, and need to be stocked and transported to landfills, with extremely high costs for transport and management. To address these problems, a low-cost remediation methodology was previously developed to decontaminate sediments which were tested for use in plant nursery field plantations located in Pistoia (Italy). The phytoremediated sediments were mixed in percentages of 33% and 50% with alluvial soil, which itself was used as control. We studied the characteristics of these mixtures, and the physiological response and growth of Viburnum tinus L. grown on each substrate, as well as its corresponding root ball. Substrates with sediments showed quick water infiltration and no waterlogging, in sharp contrast to what was observed in autumn in the control. Despite a rainy summer, V. tinus demonstrated a good acclimation to the different substrates, showing the lowest leaf water potentials in mixed substrates and no signs of stress. No differences in leaf carbon assimilation or transpiration were observed among substrates, while in late August plants grown on substrates with sediments showed a higher performance index for energy conservation from photons absorbed by PSII to the reduction of intersystem electron acceptors. In the 50% mixture, there was also an enhancement of electron transport from PSII to PSI. Moreover, no differences in growth and biomass were found. Plants in all substrates showed some thin-root mortality, likely due to the persistent rainfall, though a higher number of plants with dead roots was observed in control. Thanks to the dense and fibrous root apparatus of V. tinus, the mixture with 33% sediments produced satisfactory results even for the root ball, resulting in less deformation and a lower breakage percentage.

We evaluated the potential of a phytoremediated sediment (TR) dredged from maritime port as peat-free growth substrate for seven ornamental plants, in comparison with an untreated sediment (NT), in a greenhouse experiment. The studied plants were Quercus ilex, Photinia x fraseri, Viburnum tinus, Cistus albidus, Raphiolepis indica, Westringia fruticosa and Teucrium fruticans. Plant growth was monitored for ten months, and the changes in the physico-chemical properties, toxicity, microbial biomass and enzyme activities involved in the C, P and N cycles were also monitored during the plant growth period. The results showed that the studied ornamental plants could grow on both NT and TR sediments, but that the growth was higher on TR sediment. The plant growth induced changes in the sediment chemical functional groups, with clear separation between NT and TR sediments for each of the studied plant. Microbial biomass and enzyme activities significantly increased during the plant growth, more in TR than in NT sediment. Toxicity was detected in NT sediments during the plant growth whereas it was not observed in NT sediments during the whole growth period. We concluded that phytoremediation converted the dredged maritime sediments into suitable substrates for growing ornamental plants, and that the re-use by plant nursery industry can be a sustainable management and valorization for remediated sediments.
