WSL and ETH Zurich researchers study seven Central European tree species on polluted soils in southern Poland; conservative species yield uncontaminated timber.
WSL and ETH Zurich researchers study seven Central European tree species on polluted soils in southern Poland; conservative species yield uncontaminated timber. Does the choice of tree species enable timber production on polluted land? Does the choice of tree species enable timber production on polluted land? Forest trees can help contain heavy metals in polluted soils. But which tree species should be selected for this purpose? A study led by the Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) investigated how seven different Central European tree species respond to metal-contaminated soils. ...
