Hi Robin I am interested in reading more about this. I could be way off track here, but can't help but wonder if it may be a solution, or part of, to a large problem we face in Australia. native tree regeneration is having a difficult time, as the trees will not establish in some areas due to the conventional farming that has gone on previously. As you can imagine it is a fairly new problem, which only continues to grow at this point in time. Originally I was thinking that leaf litter,(specific to that region) including twigs were put back into these areas to aid the return of necessary microorganisms, required by native trees. It was my uni that got me going on this topic. Thanks
