Evaluating tree planter health: Soil chemical perspectives

Reference Type
Conference Proceedings (Chapter)

"This paper summarizes the findings of a number of case studies of tree planter problems related to soil chemistry." (p.211) [UMN]

"Trees in planter boxes endure stressful conditions associated with the physical and chemical soil environment. This study evaluates a number of planter soils in urban settings to assess the impacts of the chemical environment on trees and summarizes soil chemical evaluation techniques and their value in establishing soil conditions in street tree planters. Properties examined include salinity, alkalinity, and oxygen diffusion." [Abstract]
