Hydrophobicity and surface free energy to assess spent coffee grounds as soil amendment. Relationships with soil quality

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of spent coffee grounds (SCG), a highly hydrophobic raw material, on the hydrophobicity of two Mediterranean agricultural soils. Physical, chemical, mineralogical and biological soil properties, most of them used to evaluate soil quality, were studied...
