It is intended to implement management practices more in line with the pedo-climatic characteristics of each scenario, based on a […]
The use of trees to immobilize contaminants (phytostabilization) is a low-cost and effective method of soil remediation.
Researchers of IRNAS, CSIC and New Zealand have evaluated the potential of red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) to phytostabilize soils contaminated by trace elements (TE). Within the research projects RECARE and RESTECO, the ET concentration in soils and in […]
