Use of Wood Waste in Rehabilitation of Landings Constructed on Fine-Textured Soils, Central Interior British Columbia, Canada
Abstract
Rehabilitation of temporary landings and roads constructed on fine-textured Alfisols must ameliorate poor soil structure, high bulk densities, and greatly reduced organic matter. A long-term field experiment in the central interior of British Columbia (BC) was begun in 1995 to compare soil properties and seedling growth on landings rehabilitated with three operationally feasible treatments: (1) incorporation of waste wood chips (140 t/ha, oven-dry basis), supplemented with 600 kg N/ha; (2) subsoiling; and (3) shallow tillage combined with recovery and spreading of topsoil. After 4 years, soil bulk density at 7–14 cm depth was lowest in the chip incorporation treatment. Although total C, N, and S, and mineralizable N concentrations were highest in the topsoil recovery treatment, the chip incorporation treatment had the highest 3-year growth rates of hybrid white spruce (Picea glauca × engelmannii). Foliar analyses indicated that macro- and micronutrient concentrations were generally adequate, with only S and Mg being of concern. Establishment of paper birch (Betula papyrifera) did not succeed due to severe rodent damage to seedlings, perhaps encouraged by rapid and dense revegetation by seeded agronomic legumes. Silviculturists should consider treatments involving incorporation of chipped wood wastes, with appropriate supplementary N fertilization, in rehabilitation of access structures on fine-textured soils in the BC central interior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
