Ground-breaking trials for efficient bio-ash as a sustainable resource
As part of her PhD project at the Department of Forest Biomaterials and Technology at SLU, Linnea Larsson is leading innovative field trials to explore how wood ash, derived from forest residues, can be used more efficiently and sustainably in Swedish forestry. While wood ash is already returned to forests in southern Sweden to some extent, it holds potential for maintaining soil productivity after whole-tree harvesting and may enhance tree growth on certain sites.
