Organic Materials Used in Agriculture, Horticulture, Reconstructed Soils, and Filtering Applications

Résumé

Organic material has historically been used in growing media and has traditionally been harvested from peatlands. Deposits of organic material in peatlands may also be very productive when cultivated. This editorial brings attention to different sources of organic material, including peatlands, and their use as growing media and farmland. The editorial identifies new fields for which organic material may be used like green roof and filtering appli cations. Concepts developed in these fields are widespread in different journals and, as a result, soil scientists are somewhat unfamiliar with recent developments in the characterization of growing media and their different uses. This special issue illustrates concepts used in growing media science, and brings attention to these new fields of investigation to benefit soil scientists and horticulturists.
