Developing a microbial based soil amendment that can improve the establishment of young urban out planted trees
EF 2019-20 · 2019-09-02
Résumé
Mortality of urban forest trees exceeds 30% within the first two years of planting, which limits municipality's tree canopy cover goals and costs millions in losses per year. Lallemand will develop three microbial soil amendment prototypes that may be able to provide planting pits with improved water holding capacity, improved soil structure, increased nutrients, root stimulation and buffering from abiotic stress such as drought and osmotic stress. This project will 1.] test the best soil amendment prototypes in a greenhouse trial using silver maple seedlings and 2.] measure the hydraulic properties of the soils treated with soil amendments using the Extended Evaporation Method to guide rates of incorporation for urban tree planting.

Description (French)
La mortalité des arbres des forêts urbaines dépasse 30 % au cours des deux premières années de plantation, ce qui limite les objectifs de la municipalité en matière de couvert forestier et coûte des millions en pertes par année. Lallemand développera trois prototypes d'amendements microbiens du sol qui pourraient fournir des fosses de plantation avec une meilleure capacité de rétention d'eau, une meilleure structure du sol, une augmentation des nutriments, une stimulation des racines et une protection contre le stress abiotique tel que la sécheresse et le stress osmotique. Ce projet permettra de tester les meilleurs prototypes d'amendements du sol dans un essai en serre à l'aide de jeunes plants d'érable argenté et de mesurer les propriétés hydrauliques des sols traités avec des amendements du sol en utilisant la méthode d'évaporation prolongée pour guider les taux d'incorporation pour la plantation des arbres urbains.
