Abstract

Background, aim, and scope Mulching is frequently used to overcome the drought problem in hardwood plantations that are increasingly being established in lower rainfall areas of Queensland, Australia because of increasing land values. In addition to soil water content, soil nitrogen (N) availability is another critical determinant of plantation productivity in these areas. The purpose of this study was to understand how soil mineral N dynamics, in situ N mineralization, and the fate of fertilized N would be affected by mulching during the early establishment of hardwood plantations.
