Prabhu,
There should not be much available carbon from wood ash. It may contain carbonates and oxides that increase and buffer the pH value if that helps. It may contain a site for microbes to establish themselves and stay in suspension. It may provide trace elements and/or nutrients that will help if they are limiting factors. That's how I look at it.
