Growth Response of Nine Tree Species to Water Supply in Planting Soils Representative for Urban Street Tree Sites

publiziert. Englische Kurzbeschreibung:

In an experimental field study at a tree-nursery, we investigated the effect of soil hydrological properties of soils representative for urban street tree sites on tree growth of nine different tree species. Our results revealed low plant available water capacities (6% and 10% v/v) and hydraulic conductivity restrictions of the sandy-textured urban planting soils. Tree growth was overall evidently lower in the urban planting soils compared with a reference soil (loamy silt) and differed between and within the species. Although most of the tree species maintained vitality throughout the three-year experiment, we showed that using unfavorable planting soils causes severe, species-specific growth deficits reflecting limited above-ground carbon uptake.
