Microbial inoculant-mediated transformation of Jarava ichu biomass: effects on nutrient availability and heavy metal concentrations

Jarava ichu is an abundant grass species in high-Andean ecosystems but remains underutilised because its slow natural decomposition limits its potential as an organic soil amendment. Its accumulation may also contribute to the retention of heavy metals in soils, potentially affecting soil quality and agricultura...
