Reasons Why Soil Management Is Important For Trees

The soil supports most living organisms, being the top source of their mineral nutrients. Good soil management guarantees that mineral elements do not become toxic or deficient to crops, plants, and trees. Soil management is essential to trees, environmental sustainability, productivity, and human health, so It’s crucial to know what’s happening beneath the ground. Cultivating the right soil type will make trees grow and live longer, even in urban locations with less room for them to thrive.

How soil management leads to healthy trees

Soil is made mainly of minerals, nutrients, water, and gas. Different soil types vary according to color, texture, acidity, depth, ability to hold water, and fertility. Since every tree species has different needs, it’s important to know what kind of soil they need to grow. Below are the things good soil management must involve.

● The planting sites

The best trees will only grow well if planted in good soil. One of the best ways to make sure that your plants grow as well as possible in the soil is to make sure that it has the correct profile. This means that you must arrange the planting site so that your tree stands at the highest point. It is also that the planted trees do not remain underwater for a long time. Installing drainage can also help to enhance water management. This allows peak rainfall to be channeled away moderately.

● Growth parameters 

A park in development, or a new plot of land used to plant trees, should be carefully examined. It is crucial to know how the soil is made in chemical and biological terms! After all, plants and trees will thrive best in healthy soil suitable for them. This can be done in two ways: either you look for a suitable tree for the planting site or improve the planting site so that the selected variety grows.

Moreover, a soil sampling and survey are desirable to make your planting project successful. Arborist tree services can effectively analyze both the biological and chemical situation, giving you a better understanding of the soil condition.

● Soil structure

Your trees will grow best in soil with a good structure. One way of doing this is by using green manure. Green manure can prevent the nutrients essential for the growth of your plants or trees from being washed away. You can also use LUMA. LUMA is a combination of various crops with different root depths. This allows the soil to be optimally rooted for the crop planted.

● Vehicle paths

Last but not the least, use fixed vehicle paths correctly. The goal is to ensure that machinery does not run over the planting site. This can lead to permanent soil compaction, especially on clay soil which makes rooting difficult and negatively affects the drainage capacity of the soil.

Bottomline

The soil you use can either restrain or nurture the growth of trees. Proper soil management can help reduce the risk of erosion and compaction. Reach out to us using the contact form or dial 03-9913-5195.

Transplanting trees seem like an uncomplicated job, but the fact is many of them could die if the work is done incorrectly. Exposing roots to the air is not a pleasant experience for trees, and not all species survive the ordeal. However, if your landscape design calls the need to transfer a tree to a new location, you are likely to be successful if you know the proper methods.

Plants cannot show the same signs of sickness as animals and humans. They can't whine about body pains to let you know. So how can we tell when a tree is unwell When a tree is sick, it might develop sores on its bark or lean more to one side. Another sign is dead stems or branches that fall off the tree. If any of these symptoms occur, the tree you're looking at is possibly sick.
