A poster on how to remediate contaminated soils by planting native shrubs and trees prepared by the RECARE project team at Agencia Estatal Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificass (CSIC), Spain, was presented at the 13th European Ecological Federation (EEF) in Rome.
Soil contamination affects large areas of soil in Europe due to harmful products from agriculture, industry, cities and mining.
Under the RECARE project, 2 Case Study areas in Guadiamar, Spain and in Copsa Mica, Romania are exploring remediation solutions to soil contamination through:
- Phytostabilization
- Immobilisation using inorganic additives
