Effects of Organic Residue Management and Legume Cover on Growth of Pine Seedlings, Nutrient Leaching and Soil Properties

Gomez-Rey, M. X., Madeira, M., and Vasconcelos, E. Annals of Forest Science 65:807-818. 2008.

The short-term effect of organic residue management on the growth and nutrition of Pinus pinaster Ait. seedlings, and on nutrient leaching and chemical properties of an acid soil was assessed through a lysimeter experiment. Treatments included absence, placement on the soil surface, and incorporation into the soil (with and without legume cover cropping) of organic residues (forest floor litter or forest floor litter plus harvest residues).
