Effect of a compost mulch on seed germination and plant growth in a burnt forest soil from NW Spain
In this work, a revegetation experiment was performed on a forest soil artificially burnt in the laboratory, and the results of the soil without treatment were compared to those of the soil capped with an organic mulch. Plant biomass, as well as the variation of pH, electric conductivity (EC), and p...
