Abstract:To explore the application effect of urban sludge products in forest land. In this study, three kinds municipal sludge products (i.e., organic nutrient soil, biochar soil, and compound biochar soil) produced from Beijing Drainage Group were selected as research objects, and demonstration area for their application in forest was established in Daxing District, Beijing to evaluate the land application effect of those municipal sludge products in forest. The effects of three kinds of municipal sludge products on forest environment and Populus tomentosa growth under different fertilization methods and amounts were investigated via the field experiments. It was found that the pH value of soil increased slightly and finally stabilized at about 7.1 after fertilization. The conductivity of acid-base soil increased with the increase of fertilization ratio, whose highest value was over 1400 μS·cm?1, but there was no salinity risk. After applying municipal sludge products, the contents of all kinds of nutrients in the soil increased significantly and played a dominant role in promoting the growth of plants. The results also showed that the effect of 3 kg·m?2 of application of composite biochar soil was the best. The application of sludge products could promote the growth of plants, improve the fertility of soil and lead to the slightly increase of heavy metals contents in the soil, but all of them met the relevant requirements of the soil quality standard in soil pollution risk control standard for agricultural land and were in a low risk state during the whole monitoring period. Key words:sludge products/ populus tomentosa/ heavy metals/ risk assessment.
