Silver birch plantations can remove heavy metals from former farmland
Silver birch stands planted on former agricultural land can absorb harmful heavy metals from the soil, helping to clean it over time, a study by Estonian University of Life Sciences researchers reported by ERR has found. Researchers examined soil, bark and wood from 11 birch stands established on…

🚨 Are landfills a source of microplastics in nearby soils?
A study near Anyang’s largest landfill found 900–4,900 items/kg, mainly small fibers, films, and fragments. Pollution was moderate, but ecological risk was low.
