Dryland sites are facing significant challenges due to ongoing degradation processes. Incorporating organic amendments into ecosystem restoration has proven to be an effective approach for accelerating soil regeneration in these affected areas. Initiatives such as the "Experimental Erosion Measurement Network" and "Soil Recovery and Amendments on the Teatinos Campus" aim to enhance soil quality, promote water infiltration, mitigate erosion, and improve the survival rates of replanting efforts. This research explores the effectiveness of organic amendments in dryland restoration, emphasizing the influence of various types, dosages, and application methods. Key findings include: (a) the impact of amendments on soil properties is highly dependent on their origin; (b) amendments should be used at the lowest effective doses; (c) surface application ("on-top") is the most widely adopted method; and (d) the stability and maturity of the amendments are critical factors that can determine their success or failure.
