Compost use in urban restored wetlands

Article Abstract:

Experimental studies by the Duke University Wetland Center (DUWC), to increase growth of planted vegetation and improve water quality by addition of compost to low organic matter soils are reported. Effects of compost amendments on wetland cells were tried with various low and high ratios of compost to topsoil and topsoil only, plant growth was robust although invasive grasses were dominant, which was due to limited efforts to thoroughly mix compost material into topsoil.
