The international journal « Ecological Engineering » has just published a very interesting article.
This article is entitled: « Tree growth and macrofauna colonization in Technosols constructed from recycled urban wastes ». It is co-authored by CharlottePruvost and Thomas Lerch (Paris Institute of Ecology and Environmental Sciences, Sorbonne University, CNRS, UPEC, Paris 7, INRA, IRD).
The subject at hand is how to use technosols to offer sustainable alternatives to the massive importation of topsoil to meet the growing need for urban greening. A research topic already explored by Charlotte Pruvost as part of a Cifre thesis supervised by Thomas Lerch and supported by ECT.
