Monitoring of Miscanthus plantation in Vorzel, Kyiv region, Ukraine

On July 23, 2024, Dr. Vitalii Stadnik and Dr. Martyn Sozanskyi (LPNU) attended a research Miscanthus plantation located in Vorzel, Kyiv region, Ukraine. At the first Miscanthus plantation, established in 2023, the impact of industrial biochar Ideale on the Miscanthus phytotechnology was tested. In the second field, established in 2024, the impact of biochar received from Miscanthus waste by NULES, has been tested (in different doses). At both plantations the changing of the soil organic carbon have been monitored. Dr. Vitalii Stadnik and Dr. Martyn Sozanskyi did visual monitoring of the plantation with respected photo documentation. They collected soil samples for measuring the organic carbon by the TVHNPU team. The third collection of soil for the estimation of the soil organic carbon will be done at the end of vegetation.
