= Terminology = Biosolids are solid organic materials resulting from the processing (physical, chemical, and biological) of sewage sludge in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). they represent an important organic amendment for use in agriculture. Biosolids are very effective for the reclamation of abandoned and degraded agricultural soils because of the presence of high organic matter and appreciable amount of nutrients.
