- Animal manures applied to soil: phosphorus bioavailability, losses to water and erosionPublication . Monteiro, M.C.H.; Ribeiro, Paulo; Batista, Marta; Carneiro, J.P.; Duarte, A.C.; Roboredo, Marta; Torrent, J.; Sharpley, AndrewPhosphorus (P) is a non renewable resource which highlights the significance of developing and using alternative sources of P for a sustainable agriculture. Animal manure is an option but its application to soils to meet crop nitrogen needs requires careful management practices to minimize freshwater eutrophication. The aim of this work was to evaluate the partitioning of applied P between plant uptake, losses to water, and erosion losses when using different animal manures and a mineral P fertilizer. A field trial was conducted at an erosion experimental station. The treatments were: Control (0 kg P/ha); cattle manure; solid fraction of pig and duck slurry and superphosphate, each applied at a rate of 50 kg P/ha after Lolium sp was sown. Soil samples from each trial were collected over the 9-month study and the water extractable soil P determined. It was found that desorption of P from all additions rapidly increased soon after P application (2 weeks). After that water extractable soil P remained fairly constant. While duck slurry desorbed the largest concentration of P, all sources have the potential to desorb P that could accelerate eutrophication. Plant uptake of P was greater with cattle manure added and released the least amount of P to water compared with the other sources of P. The partitioning of applied P between plant uptake and losses to runoff and sediments ranged between 5-12 % with the higher values in Duck treatment. Animal manures significantly increased soil Olsen-P, plant production and P uptake relative to mineral fertilizer. Animal manures can be considered as a source of available P nevertheless to avoid eutrophication risks increase plant P use efficiency is also important.
- Animal-origin food waste across global supply chains: Trends, upcycling strategies, and circular economy solutionsPublication . Gonçalves, Joana; Guiné, Raquel P.F.; Ribeiro, Paulo; Florença, Sofia G.; Lopes, Luísa Cruz; Anjos, O.; Sun, Da-WenRecently, the problem of food waste management has attracted the attention of producers, processors, retailers, and consumers due to economic, environmental, food safety, and sustainability consequences, affecting the entire food supply chain. This article reviews data on food waste of animal origin at different stages along the production and transformation systems, from an environmental, economic, or social perspective. Results show differences between developed and developing countries. While in developed countries, most waste occurs at the end of the food chain, in developing countries, most waste occurs in primary production and transportation. Food waste is very expressive in production and retail, but also in final consumption in households and food services. Mitigating measures include upcycling, i.e., recovering valuable food components for industrial use with economic and environmental benefits, and alternatives for food waste reutilization. The role of the consumer is unquestionable, particularly when shopping for food for the household or when consuming food in restaurants or canteens. Hence, it is crucial to understand the behaviours leading to food waste as a way to reduce it and implement strategies to effectively reduce food waste at various levels. The role of education, regulation, and policies is pivotal in achieving minimal food waste.
- Ciclo do fósforo em agroecossistemas: Efeito da fertilização fosfatada com adubos minerais ou com resíduos orgânicos de pecuáriaPublication . Monteiro, M.C.H.; Ribeiro, Paulo; Carneiro, J.P.; Duarte, A.C.; Batista, Marta; Roboredo, MartaCiclo do fósforo em agroecossistemas: Efeito da fertilização fosfatada com adubos minerais ou com resíduos orgânicos de pecuária.
- Efeito da fertilização mineral fosfatada na partição das formas de fósforo num RegossoloPublication . Monteiro, M.C.H.; Ribeiro, Paulo; Carneiro, J.P.; Duarte, A.C.; Batista, MartaO conhecimento da partição do P no solo por diferentes formas com distinta labilidade, ajuda a perceber a dinâmica do P não só relativamente à sua fitodisponibilidade, como também a riscos de transferência para as águas com consequências negativas na eutrofização. Neste trabalho, efetuou-se a caracterização das formas de P presentes num Regossolo e, após uma adubação mineral fosfatada, avaliou-se o seu efeito sobre a fitodisponibilidade e partição das formas de fósforo. Os resultados obtidos contribuirão para uma melhor gestão do P no solo.

- Recycling pulp mill sludge to improve soil fertility using GIS toolsPublication . Ribeiro, Paulo; Albuquerque, António; Quinta-Nova, L.C.; Cavaleiro, VictorPulp mill sludge produced in the Cova da Beira region (Portugal) contains organic matter (11–47%), nitrogen (38–2560mg N/kg) and phosphorus (167–370mg P/kg), which may be valuable for increasing soil productivity. The levels of heavy metals are below the limits recommended by legislation and the amount of nitrogen and phosphorous to be introduced in soils does not present a risk for nutrient leaching. After identifying the environmental and technical restrictions on its application, an area of 1650 ha was identified where the sludge can be applied in forage crops, fruit trees, olive groves and vineyards. A suitable area was also found for a biosolids storage centre. The use of GIS allowed to define a sludge application index and to produce land-use suitability maps, which can be useful for sludge management.
- Valorização agrícola de resíduos orgânicos de pecuária: avaliação da fitodisponibilidade em fósforoPublication . Monteiro, M.C.H.; Ribeiro, Paulo; Batista, Marta; Carneiro, J.P.; Roboredo, Marta; Torrent, J.Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a adequação de dois métodos analíticos, o método de Olsen (Olsen-P) e o método de Egnér-Riehm (AL-P), na quantificação do fósforo(P) fitodisponível, após aplicação ao solo, num ensaio de campo, de resíduos orgânicos de pecuária como fertilizantes.
