| Title | Environmental and Plant Effects of Sewage Sludge Application to Forests and Pastures |
| Creator | Van Miegroet, Helga Boston, H L Johnson, D W |
| Description | Digested sewage sludge was applied to pastures and tree plantations at 19 to 44 Mg/ha (dry weight) as part of a municipal sludge disposal program. The sludge had low concentrations of heavy metals and traces of 137Cs and 60Co. Monitoring of soils, soil solutions, and runoff indicated that N, P, heavy metals, and radionuclides were largely retained in the upper 15cm of the soil. Soil solutions had elevated NO3- concentrations often >100 mg/L, but no significant increases in groundwater NO3-... |
