| Microbial biofertilizers and soil amendments enhanced tree growth and survival in a barren mined-out area |
|---|
A bioremediation protocol was developed for rehabilitating mine tailing areas using microbial biofertilizers and soil amendments. The effects on the growth and survival of tree species in a three-decade barren mined-out area in Barangay Capayang, Mogpog, Marinduque, Philippines were also determined. The study asserts that P. indicus, A. mangium and E. urophylla inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and applied with lime, vermicompost, and basal inorganic fertilizer can be effective as reforestation species in barren mined-out areas.
