The Impact of the Method of Reclamation of the Coal Ash Dump from the “Adamów” Power Plant on the Survival, Viability, and Wood Quality of the Introduced Tree Species

The aim of this research was to determine the survival rate, dimensions, and wood quality black locust, ash-leaf maple, common American ash introduced landfill “Adamów” Power Plant as part reclamation process. experimental area consisted 13 plots. On three plots where trees were planted directly into ash, completely collapsed. As a result research, it found that locust had best rates, whereas worst. maple reached larger sizes on ashes covered with 50-centimetre layer sewage sludge (S50) or clay (C50), while grew largest 25-centimetre (S25) used. Our shows about 40% examined species good (Q1, Q2), which in future will make possible obtain sawmill raw material. other hand, lower (Q3, Q4), accounted for over 50% assessed material, can be successfully used biomass energy purposes.
