The development of anthroposols has been proposed as a new environmentally friendly approach to ensuring the successful revegetation of phosphate mining sites. The phosphate industry's by-products, including phosphogypsum (PG), phosphate sludge (PS), and sewage sludge (SS), can be valuable resources in restoring the ecological balance of mined soil areas. The aim of this study was to safely and sustainably restore the ecological integrity of the phosphate mining site through the evaluation of nutrients and heavy metals dynamics in soil and plant tissues of three tree species and treated by-products containing 65 % PG, 30 % PS, and 5 % SS.

Article Synopsis
  • Olive mill wastewater sludge (OMWS) is an environmental pollutant from the olive oil industry, often stored improperly, causing contamination of land and water resources.
  • This study investigates the use of a native fungal species, Galactomyces Geotrichum (FUN 06), to reduce OMWS's harmful effects and improve its quality for use as an organic fertilizer.
  • Results show that FUN 06 can significantly decrease toxicity, boost nutrient levels, and enhance plant growth, suggesting that microbial inoculation is an effective method for transforming OMWS into a valuable resource for agriculture.
