Dolomite and Micronutrient Fertilizer Affect Phosphorus Fate When Growing Crape Myrtle in Pine Bark

Shreckhise, J. H., Owen, J. S., Eick, M. J., Niemiera, A. X., Altland, J. E., & Jackson, B. E. (2020, May 7). HortScience, Vol. 55, pp. 832–840.

By: J. Shreckhise*, J. Owen*, M. Eick *, A. Niemiera*, J. Altland* & B. Jackson* 

author keywords: chemical speciation; controlled-release fertilizer; Lagerstroemia; mineral nutrient uptake; phosphorus fractionation; soilless substrate
topics (OpenAlex): Horticultural and Viticultural Research; Pesticide and Herbicide Environmental Studies; Plant Physiology and Cultivation Studies
TL;DR: This research suggests that amending pine bark substrate with dolomite and a sulfate-based micronutrient fertilizer should be considered a best management practice for nursery crop production. (via Semantic Scholar)

Physical and Hydraulic Properties of Commercial Pine-bark Substrate Products Used in Production of Containerized Crops

Altland, J. E., Owen, J. S., Jackson, B. E., & Fields, J. S. (2018, December 1). HortScience, Vol. 53, pp. 1883–1890.

By: J. Altland*, J. Owen n, B. Jackson*  & J. Fields*

author keywords: aged bark; air space; dynamic physical properties; evaporative method; fresh bark; particle size; Pinus taeda; porometer; sand; static physical properties; water holding capacity
topics (OpenAlex): Seedling growth and survival studies; Soil and Unsaturated Flow; Composting and Vermicomposting Techniques
TL;DR: When comparing hydrological properties across three pine bark sources, readily available water content was unaffected; however, moisture characteristic curves (MCC) differed due to particle size distribution affecting the residual water content and subsequent shift from gravitational to either capillary or hygroscopic water.
