Why Branchwood Smaller Than 7cm Differs from Trunk Wood
Twigs and branches contain active cambium, soluble sugars, and enzymes with a favorable C:N ratio (30:1 to 50:1), unlike sterile heartwood lumber chips (C:N 400:1).
Laccase and Manganese Peroxidase Enzymatic Cascades
Basidiomycete fungi secrete powerful extracellular oxidative enzymes that depolymerize tough lignin polymers into fertile humic and fulvic acids.
Suppression of Soil-Borne Phytopathogens
Active saprophytic fungal colonies outcompete pathogenic organisms like Rhizoctonia and Fusarium through antibiotic production and spatial niche occupation.
