Brazilian study used small amounts of Amazonian dark earth (ADE) in forest restoration and found it supercharged tree growth.
In land that had been worn down by deforestation, pasture use, and poor soil management, the ADE was found to enable faster beneficial fungal growth which enriched the tree rhizosphere.
Fungi turned out to be more important for establishment than other soil components.
Good News for Restoration Science: Small-volume inoculum can be developed to help native trees establish faster without relying on fertilizers or herbicides.https://www.thebrighterside.news/post/amazonian-dark-earth-increases-tree-diameter-by-up-to-88/
