Use of digestate from a decentralized on-farm biogas plant as fertilizer in soils: An ecotoxicological study for future indicators in risk and life cycle assessment

•Digestate from a decentralized on-farm biogas plant was assessed by a battery of ecotoxicological tests including plants, earthworms and aquatic organisms.•Obtained ecotoxicological parameters were used to derive indicators for future application of LCA and ERA.•Ecotoxicological investigation was p...
