“…Furthermore, its rhizosphere soil hosts a plethora of beneficial bacterial organisms, enhancing soil biological fertility and adapting to nutrient-deficient conditions (Wemedo and Onolleka, 2012), while the leaves serve as valuable biochar (Ighalo et al, 2021;Jabar et al, 2022). On the other hand, Sterculia ceramica, a fast-growing species found in primary forests, sandy, and rocky beach areas, demonstrates resistance to drought and thrives in soils with a high sand fraction (Galias et al, 2018;Romeroso et al, 2021). Meanwhile, Cassia fistula, belonging to the Fabaceae family, forms a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, enriching sandy soil with nitrogen and making it a favorable species for enhancing soil quality (Vishnoi et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2021;Mathesius, 2022).…”
