New approach on soil remediation by combination of biological and chemical oxidation processes (BIOXISOIL)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 1 sept. 2016,
Background
After the oceans, soil represents the second largest carbon pool on the planet. However, pollution and loss of soil biodiversity reduces the ability of soils to regulate the composition of the atmosphere, diminishing their role in absorbing carbon and counteracting global warming. At the same time, soil erosion is a serious environmental proble ...
