| Short description: |
This report summarises research progress during Phase III (2002-2006) of a
long-term series of field experiments evaluating “the effects of sewage sludge
applications to agricultural soils on soil microbial activity and the implications
for agricultural productivity and long-term soil fertility” at nine sites in Britain.
The work involved investigating the effects of established soil heavy metal
concentrations (i.e. Zn, Cu and Cd) on soil microbial activity and fertility,
following creation of the metal dose-response treatments in Phase I (1994-
1998), and builds upon soil microbial and crop quality measurements made
during Phase II of the project (in 1999 and 2001).
