Soils collected at the Sentein site, a former Pb/Zn mining area, were assessed in a pot experiment. The aim was to ameliorate the physicochemical soil properties and to reduce the plant exposure to metal(loid)s. Soils were amended with either 5% (w/w) compost, 5% compost and...
Long-term field plots have been implemented at the St Médard d’Eyrans site (S1) to assess the phytomanagement of Cu/PAH-contaminated soils with either a short-rotation coppice or a plantation of poplars (Populus nigra L.). In the end of March 2022 (year 14), the INRAE researchers went...
