Description:	The restoration of degraded tropical ecosystems, particularly in the Amazon, requires innovative and sustainable solutions. This study investigates the potential of Amazonian Dark Earth (ADE), a highly fertile and resilient soil, as a microbial bio-inoculant to improve the growth of two key tree species, Schizolobium amazonicum and Handroanthus avellanedae.
