Ever wondered how to specify the density of soils for phytocapping and on what basis? This practical paper from Green Infrastructure Research Labs (GIRLS) Cities Research Institute shows the sensitivity of plants to compaction and also to excessively loose soils. The good news is the range for optimal plant water use and root growth is wide and achievable. For anyone who has an interest in how to optimise the placement of soils to get better outcomes for your projects and their plant communities, please see the link to the this Nature Based Solutions Journal paper published by Ruby Michael, Javier C., Katherine Horsfall, Negar Omidvar and Ruwan Fernando: Link here: https://lnkd.in/gavkzgZn I will be chatting through some of the findings of this paper as part of HydroTerra Pty Ltd's webinar this Friday November 1st with Vishal Rajendraprasad Chulliparambil on the Ecological Rehabilitation of Landfills using Phytocapping - future opportunities and potentials.
