Developing Effective Decision Support for the Application of “Gentle” Remediation Options: The GREENLAND Project.
Gentle remediation options (GRO) are risk management strategies/technologies that result in a net gain (or at least no gross reduction) in soil function as well as risk management. They encompass a number of technologies, including the use of plant (phyto-), fungi (myco-), and/or bacteria-based meth...
