| Summary: | Traditional dredged sludge disposal methods are characterized by low resource utilization and high carbon emissions, leading to serious environmental pollution. This study used dredged sludge, composted pig manure, and sawdust as raw materials, and supplemented them with composite biological agents to prepare improved soil. Plant adaptability to the improved soil was comprehensively evaluated using factors such as seed germination index (GI). The alkaline nitrogen content in the improved soil increased by 78.61% compared to the dredged sludge, and the content of other nutrients such as available potassium also increased to varying degrees. Ryegrass seed GI increased by 51.06% in improved soil (IS1) compared to dredged sludge. The main dominant fungi in the improved soil (IS1) were <i>Tausonia</i>, <i>Trichoderma</i>, and <i>Cystoflobasidium</i>, which promote soil nutrient activation and antagonize pathogenic bacteria, making the environment more conducive to plant growth. Dredged sludge was successfully converted into planting soil. Fully utilizing the nitrogen, phosphorus, and other substances enriched in dredged sludge to provide nutrients for plant growth is an efficient method to achieve dredged sludge resource utilization. |
