Recycling of wood ash from energy production may counteract soil acidification and return
essential nutrients to soils. However, wood ash amendment affects soil physicochemical …

Recirculation of wood ash from energy production to forest soil improves the sustainability of
this energy production form as recycled wood ash contains nutrients that otherwise would be …

The rhizosphere and the surrounding soil harbor an enormous microbial diversity and a
specific community structure, generated by the interaction between plant roots and soil …

Several reports have highlighted that forest soil samples are more phylum‐rich than
agricultural soil samples. However, little is known about the structure and richness of the …

Wood ash is alkaline and contains base-cations. Application of wood ash to forests therefore
counteracts soil acidification and recycle nutrients removed during harvest. Wood ash …

Amplicon-based analysis of 16S rRNA genes and transcripts was used to assess the effect
of tree species composition on soil bacterial community structure and function in a temperate …

In soils characterized by nutrient-poor conditions trees have developed strategies to
maximize the exploration of the environment through their root system. Notably, in shallow …

The different physical-chemical properties of the black ash (200–500° C) and white ash (>
510° C) generated by wildfire may result in varied impacts on soil biological and abiotic …

Wood ash is typically applied to soils to counteract acidification and base cation depletion,
but the effects of this ash on the organic layer microbial community are rarely studied. We …

There is interest in utilizing wood ash as an amendment in forestry operations as a
mechanism to return nutrients to soils that are removed during harvesting, with the added …
