[email protected] Résumé. Des études en serre ont été menées afin de déterminer l’influence du substrat composté sur la croissance post- transplantation de semis d’érable rouge, d’érable à sucre et de frêne de Pennsylvanie en contenant. Préalablement à la plantation, les propriétés chimiques et physiques de chaque substrat ont été mesurées. Pour le substrat contenant des bio-solides, le pH était significativement plus élevé tandis que la conductivitéélectrique, la porositéà l’air et la quantité totale d’espace des pores étaient plus faibles, et ce par rapport au substrat sans bio-solides. Pour les sub- strats compostés contenant au moins un peu de sol, la densité du sol, la densité en particules et la capacité des contenants étaient tous significativement plus grandes que pour les composts sans sol. La croissance de l’érable rouge était à peu prèslamême dans un sub- strat non composté sans sol (Metro-mix 360) que dans les substrats contenant des bio-solides compostés. La croissance en hauteur, la biomasse totale et la biomasse racinaire du frêne de Pennsylvanie étaient significativement plus grandes pour les semis dans le Metro- mix 360 seul, et la croissance des semis d’érable à sucre était la même dans le Metro-mix 360 que dans un substrat composté sans bio-solides (Metro mix 560). Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent qu’il n’yapasd’avantage particulier à court terme sur la croissance à employer un substrat composté comme amendement au matériel de remplissage lors de la transplantation; néanmoins, l’ajout de com- post peut être bénéfique pour améliorer les propriétés chimiques et ©2006 International Society of Arboriculture
