Abstract
The project was coordinated by the NCES with technical
assistance provided by the Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) to evaluate the impact
of applying biosolids and wood ash to forest land on shallow soil water in the unsaturated
zone. The overall purpose of the project is to determine if biosolids can be used in a beneficial
manner, alone, or in combination with wood ash, as part of managing the reforestation of
timber land in northern Minnesota. Biosolids from the City of Grand Rapids were applied by NCES staff on research plots planted
with tree seedlings in the summer of 1995. The biosolids were applied at two rates, 15 and
30 ton/acre, with and without wood ash applied at a rate of 10 ton/acre. This report presents
the first year results for soil water monitoring during the summer-fall of 1995.
