Summary
This study examined the effect of diluted wood vinegar on soil microbial communities using phospholipid fatty acid analysis. Wood vinegar at 300-fold and 500-fold dilutions increased total microbial and bacterial quantities in soil, with bacteria remaining the dominant microbial group. The study also observed inhibitory effects on fungi and noted that actinomycete responses required further investigation.
