  • Reducing drought vulnerability of forest soils using Xanthan gum-based soil conditioners [Elektronski vir]
    Smolar, Jasna ...
    Climate change increases the frequency and severity of droughts in many parts of Europe, thereby affecting the availability of water resources. Therefore, preserving the soil water content is ... essential for maintaining forest diversity and plant vitality. To improve soil hydraulic properties and reduce drought vulnerability, three xanthan-gum-based soil conditioners (SC_R, SC_CG, and SC_ZZC) were developed under the European ONEforest project. These soil conditioners (SCs), including oxide ash and cellulose fibres of different lengths, differ in their filler properties. This study evaluated the performance of these soil conditioners in forest soils in Slovenia (S1), Spain (S2), and Germany (S3). Water absorption, water retention, hydraulic conductivity, seed germination, and plant growth in the untreated soils and mixtures were analysed.
