Wood chips are commonly used as mulch. However, this use is based on misconceptions and narrow understandings of the function of wood in and on soil. A more strategic use of wood chips in ecosystem restoration and ornamental landscapes in the Northwest has potential to be importantly transformative. This presentation explores how wood chips as a soil amendment remediate soil compaction; enhance soil nitrogen cycling; increase soil water availability; diversify soil foodwebs; and support healthy plant growth. Diverse plant communities with healthy plants resist pests, diseases, and invasion from noxious weeds—resulting in reduced need for application of herbicides and other chemicals.
