In addition, we propose a list of potential green infrastructure applications associated with each ecological quality class. Most bioremediated soils showed no phytotoxic effects and were classified as high ecological quality. Multivariate analysis indicated that environmental variability was structured by texture, nutrient content, and pH rather than residual hydrocarbon concentrations. Hydrocarbon levels alone did not explain biological responses: E. fetida avoidance was associated with nutrient gradients and texture, while C. sativus germination was related to texture components. Microbial community composition, assessed through 16S rRNA sequencing, was strongly associated with nutrient gradients, reflecting integrated soil conditions rather than residual contamination. Overall, the results suggest that bioremediation may contribute to the improvement of soil ecological functionality beyond contaminant reduction. The proposed framework provides an ecological interpretation based on ecotoxicological endpoints and may support evidence-based reuse decisions aligned with the functional capacity of treated soils.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoil.2026.1906227 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoil.2026.1906227 <![CDATA[Farmers’ and non-farmers’ views on European soil health challenges and management practices at regional scale]]> 2026-07-22T00:00:00Z Original Research M.
