GT3 focuses on conservation (in situ and ex-situ) and promotion of biodiversity at mining sites. Efforts will focus on the conservation of metal plants and metallophytes, as well as other organisms (animals, micro-organisms) adapted to environments with high levels of metals, for future biotechnological applications. Monitored...
During the last years, the UPV/EHU group and NEIKER have been applying in situ bioremediation strategies in soils amended with sewage sludges in the vicinity of Gernika. Within these strategies, the researchers carried out a battery of ecotoxicological tests and bioassays on earthworms, plants and bacteria....
GT2 is the work package focused on expanding the PhytoSUDOE network, with the addition of new sites and phytomanagement options under a variety of soil and climatic conditions. The PhytoSUDOE network (8 sites) was joined by 7 new sites (and 1 associated site) with new casuistry...
In the PhD thesis, developed by Erik Urionabarrenetxea in the CBET (Cell Biology in Environmental Toxicology) research group, the ecotoxicity of multiple stressors on soil organisms, the assessment of the risk of pollutants accounting for landscape variability and the application of bioremediation technologies to sewage...
