Challenges of utilizing municipal compost as an amendment in boreal forest reclamation subsoil material
DownloadFall 2018
Forest reclamation sites are often located in areas not suited for agriculture and therefore have poor soil conditions. To assist in the rehabilitation of forests on these types of sites, organic amendments can be used. Close to large urban centers, compost derived from municipal organic waste...
