RESULTS OF CASE STUDY ARIAS MONITORING WITHIN THE REECOL PROJECT AND THEIR INITIAL PEDOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Abstract
Since July 2023, the research institute VUHU has been the investigator of the European reclamation project REECOL. The first part of the paper summarizes the results of the successful completion of the working package WP3, which was led by VUHU and finished in 2024. Within four sub-tasks, the current reclamation situation in the individual project countries was mapped. The main part of the paper evaluates the research within the framework of another working package WP5 focused on short-term and long-term monitoring of experimental reclamation areas. At this start of the research, the VUHU focused on assessing the soil properties of the evaluated soils. The aim was to evaluate the development of succession areas of different ages, to evaluate areas with the application of various reclamation soils (marl, bentonites), to evaluate extremely phytotoxic areas before reclamation and to evaluate areas affected by salinization. The paper summarizes the methodology of selection of 9 experimental plots established on case areas, the methodology of field survey and applied laboratory analyses and the determination of the basic pedological characteristics of these experimental plots. The results confirm their sufficient diversity, which will allow testing of ecological reclamation methods developed by the project participants in various conditions as well as further research into the development of biological cover and biodiversity of areas left to natural succession.
