Fertilizing forests can boost productivity and carbon sequestration, Texas A&M researchers find; study aims to help southern pine forest owners prepare for climate change.
Fertilizing one’s lawn is considered a necessary practice, as is with most agricultural crops. But how many people know about fertilizing a commercial forest, and how that might affect the environment and their investment? Dr. Jason Vogel, assistant professor of forest ecosystem science within the Texas A&M University department of ecosystem science and management, is studying just how much difference fertilization can make to the productivity of the forest and carbon sequestration.
