Soil regeneration using wastewater treatment plant sludge and plant growth-promoting bacteria in Quercus ilex: implications for antibiotic resistance within a One Health framework

Soil degradation is a critical problem in Spain, aggravated by intensive agricultural practices, urbanisation and natural phenomena such as forest fires. This study addresses soil regeneration through the valorisation of waste from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and its suppl...

A Bacillus pretiosus Biofertilizer Enhances Early Growth, Nutritional Profile, and Rhizospheric Dynamics in Quercus Species for Forest Restoration

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPBs) have emerged as essential biological inputs to improve the establishment, physiological performance and survival of forest species used in ecological restoration programs. The decline of Quercus forests throughout the Mediterranean basin re...
