The Effect of Bottom and Fly Wood Ash on the Rare Earth Element Content in Forest Soil and Blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.)

Abstract:

The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of fly and bottom wood ash on the content of the rare earth elements in the forest soil and blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.). The samples of forest soil and blueberry seedlings (fine roots, stem, leaves, berries) were collected from the different forest areas which were fertilized with bottom and fly wood ash. Obtained results demonstrated that the fly wood ash dispersion area was a significant impact on the increment of rare earth elements in the forest soil and blueberry fine roots.
