Soil Chemical Quality and Forest Dieback
详细信息    查看官网全文
摘要
The study was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of recovering degraded soil chemical qualities to mitigate the mysterious forest dieback in a montane forest. Soil amendments with standard compost, montane mycorrhizae, standard compost with montane mycorrhizae, and a control were used as treatments. Syzygium rotundifolium saplings were used as the indicator plant. Soil p H, EC, Soluble soil Pb, Cd and soil organic matter was compared at 0.20 m soil depth. Foliar samples from "treated" saplings were tested for Pb and Cd. Contamination of soil and leaves of the saplings with Pb(p <0.001) and Cd(p<0.001) was evident. Positive correlations between soil Pb and Cd and leaf Pb and Cd were observed(p=0.001). Soil amendment with compost and montane mycorrhizae reduced the soluble Pb content(p=<0.001). Soil amendment with standard compost and montane mycorrhizae was effective in saving the saplings from Pb and Cd toxicity(p<0.001).
