EXPERIENCE & RESEARCH

FORESTS
Biosolids can be applied to Virginia’s pine forests at different stages of growth—including to land before planting, to seedlings and to older trees that have been thinned. Forests are ideal for biosolids application. Forestlands absorb runoff from rain and snow, trees take up nutrients year-round and forest soils include a great deal of organic matter (from decayed foliage, bark, branches and trunks), which holds nitrogen in place until plants can use it.
