Abstract
Biological indicators are considered soil quality elements, due to their dependence on soil organisms. In order to investigate The effect of compost and vermicompost enriched by chemical fertilizers and manure on soil organic carbon, microbial respiration, and enzymes activity in basil plant's rhizosphere, a field experiment was conducted as a split-plot design with randomized complete blocks and three replications in 2006. The main plot involved six levels of fertilizer including: 20 and 40 tons of compost enriched, 20 and 40 tons of vermicompost enriched per hectare, chemical fertilizer and control without fertilizer and sub-plot, and period of application (two, three and four years). The results showed that application of compost and vermicompost at all levels increased soil organic carbon (OC) and soil microbial respiration, microbial biomass and urease activity compared to the controls (p<0.05), but increasing trend among the treatments was not similar. The maximum amounts of OC, soil microbial respiration and enzyme activity were observed in 40 tons of vermicompost enriched with chemical fertilizer ha-1 with four years of application. In high levels of compost application, the urease activity was decreased.

Abstract
In order to investigate the effects of municipal solid waste enriched with mineral fertilizers on some soil physical properties and lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr) concentration in plant organs of spinach, a field experiment was carried out in a factorial arrangement based on the randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008. The main plot included four levels of fertilizer, control without fertilizer, 20 tons of multiple solid waste + 50% chemical fertilizers and 40 tons of multiple solid waste + 50% chemical fertilizers per hectare and sub-plot consisted of a period of application in 3 levels of time (one, two and three years). The results showed that application of enriched municipal compost increased field capacity, soil porosity and moisture holding capacity, but particle and bulk density of soil decreased compared to the control. Also, the physical parameters in the two levels of emriched waste compost were higher than chemical fertilizer treatment. On the other hand, using for three-years the urban waste compost enriched fertilizer at all levels increased significantly (p 0.05) lead and chromium concentrations in spinach. The Pb and Cr accumulated in roots and shoots of spinach in urban using 40 tons of waste compost per hectare with 50 percent of chemical fertilizer for a period of three years and showed a significant increase. The amounts of fertilizer in all three levels were higher than the root element shoot.

Abstract
In order to investigate the cumulative effect of three-year application of municipal solid waste compost (C) and the compost accompanied with chemical fertilizer (CF) on the concentrations of some heavy metals in various organs of rice plant, a field experiment with completely randomized design in three replications was performed in 2009. Treatments were as follows: Control (without C and CF), CF (100 kg urea, 100 kg super phosphate and 100 kg potassium sulphate per ha), 15, 30 and 45 tons of C without CF, 15, 30 and 45 tons of C with 25%, 50% and 75% CF. Results showed that application of compost in three years would increase the amounts of Ni, Pb, Cd and Cr in different organs of rice plant. Also, application of C accompanied with CF increased the amount of Ni, Pb, Cd and Cr in various organs of rice compared to C. The highest concentration of nickel and lead (9.1 and 7.8 mg.kg-1 respectively) were obtained in grains in 45 ton C + 50% CF per ha treatment. Meanwhile, the maximum content of cadmium in grain (1.6 mg.kg-1) in 30 ton C + 75% CF ha-1treatment, and the highest amount of chromium in grain (1.8 mg.kg-1 ) resulted from 30 ton + 25% CF ha-1treatment.
