Chemical composition and mineralogical residence of maple syrup: A comprehensive review

Faez Mohammed et al.

Summary: Maple syrup is a popular natural product known for its sweet taste and desirable flavor, made by boiling and concentrating sap from sugar maple trees. Its chemical composition and mineralogical residence play a key role in determining its distinct flavor, smell, and color, distinguishing it from other sugar syrups. Characterization of maple syrup constituents has been done through various analytical techniques such as spectroscopy and spectrometry, based on over 117 years of published literature.

Seasonal Xylem Sap Acidification Is Governed by Tree Phenology, Temperature and Elevation of Growing Site

Manuel Pramsohler et al.

Summary: The pH of xylem sap in trees undergoes significant changes with the seasons, being acidic in spring and alkaline in winter. While temperature does not have a significant correlation with pHx in apple trees, it is affected by developmental stage. The seasonal alkalization of xylem sap is more pronounced in conifer trees, especially at higher altitudes. The pHx of xylem sap has a negative correlation with soil temperatures and is consistent with previous studies on angiosperm pHx. Overall, pHx appears to be a sensitive stress marker and an indicator of activity status in tree xylem.

Boiler ash utilization in the Canadian pulp and paper industry

Allan Elliott et al.

Summary: The pulp and paper mill biomass boilers in Canada generate large quantities of ash, with most being landfilled and only a small amount being used beneficially. The challenges associated with ash management are expected to worsen over time, highlighting the need to identify beneficial uses for environmental and economic sustainability. Various large-scale and small-scale applications for ash have been identified globally, underscoring the importance of considering the chemical nature of the ashes for specific beneficial applications.

Trace metal biogeochemical responses following wood ash addition in a northern hardwood forest

Holly D. Deighton et al.

Summary: The study found that metal concentrations in soil water were not significantly different between treated plots and control plots over the 4 years following a biomass boiler ash addition field trial. The results suggest that industrial wood ash doses below 8 Mg.ha(-1) with trace metal concentrations below Canadian regulatory limits do not increase trace metal mobility or availability in acidic soils of northern hardwood forests during the first 5 years after application.

Wood ash application in sugar maple stands rapidly improves nutritional status and growth at various developmental stages

Jolaine Arseneau et al.

Summary: The application of wood ash has been found to have positive short-term effects on the soil acid-base status, nutrient availability, and diameter growth of sugar maple trees. It also reduces calcium deficiency and nitrogen excess in sugar maple, ultimately benefiting the health and growth of the trees.

Liming still positively influences sugar maple nutrition, vigor and growth, 20 years after a single application

Jean-David Moore et al.

Summary: This study found that the application of lime can have a positive effect on sugar maple (SM) nutrition, vigor, and growth in stands affected by acid deposition. The positive effects were observed on all variables studied, with improvements in foliar Ca and Mg concentrations, crown dieback, and basal area increment. A lime dose of approximately 5 t/ha was found to be beneficial for SM health, sustainability, and growth for at least 20 years, indicating the importance of lime application in maple forests.

Synergistic and antagonistic interactions between potassium and magnesium in higher plants

Kailiu Xie et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the interactions between potassium and magnesium in plants, focusing on their root uptake, root-to-shoot translocation, and distribution. The antagonistic effect of potassium on magnesium is stronger, highlighting the importance of balanced use of potassium and magnesium fertilizers for sustaining high plant-available magnesium and alleviating potassium-induced magnesium deficiency.
