The Effect of Applying Sewage Sludge on Biomass Production and Wood Volume of Eucalyptus camaldulensis


Abstract in English

Generally, sewage sludge is dumped into sanitary landfills, even though its use in forest stands as a fertilizer and soil conditioner might be an interesting option. However, sewage sludge must be applied with care to avoid soil and water pollution. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of applying dry sewage sludge on wet biomass production and wood volume of short rotation Eucalyptus camaldulensis plantation established on sandy soil in Fedio plantation.
