#idw #Fertilisation unnecessary in #oak #forests planted on former agricultural land

Researchers at Linnaeus University have studied the effects of fertilisation and irrigation in 25-year-old stands of pedunculate and sessile oak that grow on former agricultural land in southwest #Sweden. The results show that fertilisation does not lead to increased production and it does only cause a small increase, or none at all, in the water uptake of the oaks. https://idw-online.de/en/news809545
