3rd Phy2SUDOE Workshop

3rd Phy2SUDOE Workshop

Advancing in the application of innovative phytomanagement strategies in polluted sites in southwest Europe

3rd WORKSHOP

6th October 2022

WORKSHOP: PHYTOMANAGEMENT FOR SOIL REMEDIATION AND THE CREATION OF VALUE

Soil contamination is a widespread problem in Europe with adverse effects on biodiversity and human health. With the goal of soil restoration, Phy2SUDOE intends to promote a wider use of phytomanagement techniques by managers and owners of contaminated lands. Phytomanagement of contaminated soils is a multi-objective management strategy, based on the use of plants (trees, shrubs, herbaceous) to control the risk associated with the presence of contaminants in degraded sites, while (i) are generated products (e.g., wood, resin, essential oils, bioenergy, ecocatalysts) from harvested biomass; and (ii) the supply of ecosystem services is enhanced (e.g., C sequestration, erosion control, creation of habitats).

Phy2SUDOE project also aims to implement strategies for the conservation of endemic biodiversity typical of some contaminated sites (e.g., metallurgical flora, plant growth-promoting bacteria, etc.) due to their intrinsic and utilitarian value (e.g., biotechnological applications).

Participants will have the opportunity to get insights and learn more about phytomanagement of contaminated soils, soil restoration and policy from renowned experts in the fields.
