Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the effects of composted poultry litter (CPL) on the physical and chemical properties of a loamy sand soil. To accomplish this, a loamy sand soil, amended with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% by volume with CPL, was placed in 3.8-liter (#1) container for 13 weeks. Substrate pH increased with increasing rates of CPL. For most landscape plants, pH was in the recommended range (5.5 ≤ pH ≤ 6.5) at 10% to 30% CPL incorporation. Cation exchange capacity, available P, exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg increased linearly with increasing rates of CPL. The 20% amendment rate raised the available P, exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg to levels within the recommended range for landscape plants (N.C. Dept, of Agr.). Total porosity and unavailable water increased linearly with increasing rate of CPL amendment from 42% to 55.5% and 4% to 30.2%, respectively. Bulk density decreased linearly with increasing CPL concentration. Water content and available water capacity increased with increasing CPL rates. CPL amended soil had a 100% to 116% increase in available water capacity, compared to unamended soil. Amending soil with CPL reduced air space 3% to 36% with the largest decrease occurring between 20% and 30% CPL. This data supports the use of composted poultry litter to improve the chemical and physical properties of a loamy sand soil.

Applications of large amounts of biosolid to agricultural lands have raised the concern over its potential impact on co-transport of metal contaminants. In this study, bulk biosolid was fractioned into six macro- and nano-biosolid fraction sizes. We investigated variations in the physicochemical properties of the different biosolid fraction sizes, and assessed sorption affinity and transport of Pb in a loamy sand soil. Decreasing biosolid fraction size from macro to nano resulted in consistent increases in surface area, surface charge, and a decrease in pore size. Biosolid particles >1000 µm showed similar surface properties that differ from biosolid particles < 1000 µm. Sorption affinity for Pb was larger on nano-biosolid as compared to all macro-biosolid fraction sizes. This is mainly attributed to the larger surface area and zeta potential of nano-biosolid, leading to increased surface reactivity and greater stability. Total amount eluted of Pb was increased in the presence of macro- and nano-biosolid by 21.3% and 45.6%, respectively. Our findings suggest that the application of the >1000 µm biosolid fractions can help to minimize adverse effects of biosolid applied in areas susceptible to potential environmental risk of contamination by heavy metals. Further assessment of potential mobility of nano-biosolid at the field scale is needed before the recommendation of including such approach during land application of biosolid.
