The first paper that comes to mind is a 1993 publication by Prescott, McDonald, Gessel and Kimmins in Forest Ecology and Management, vol 59:149-164 "Long term effects of sewage sludge and inorganic fertilizers on nutrient turnover in litter in a coastal Douglas fir forest." I would recommend you get in touch with either CE Prescot or Hamish Kimmins directly, as they are quite knowledgeble in this area. He is at the University of British Columbia, Faculty of Forestry, Vancouver, BC. Canada Have you contacted Manning & Kirkman at your CSIRO Division of Fisheries? "Irrigation of eucalypt plantations on deep sands using sewage effluent: a proposed alternative to ocean disposal near Perth, Western Australia" Australian Forestry vol. 56:80-89, 1993. How's your French? Chaudron, Boiseau, Chastel & Gourc, 1989, Use of treated sewage in afforestation of the Carpiagne plateau near Marseille. in Foret Mediterraneenne, vol 11:121-126 (With French, Italian & English summaries) The Forestry abstracts section under revegetation and reclamation is where you will find references on this topic. We also are interested in creative and cost effective uses of effluent here in South Africa. Especially with reference to effluent uses in mine site rehabilitation. Contact either myself, Monika MacDevette, PhD: mmacdev@forestek.csir.co.zu or Stuart Christie : schristi@fornel.csir.co.za Hope this helps, monika
