Sydhavnstippen soil contamination 5

SOIL

From 1945 - 1973 Sydhavnsttipen coast was formed from unloading of construction waste, soil and landfills from civil engineering in Copenhagen. This made the lands soil contaminated that pollutes groundwater. Forestarium project aims to use trees plantation on Sydhavnstippen to clear groundwater through nitrogen filtration.

MANAGEMENT

Points to remember throughout management of new forest plantation: •

New seedling protection from invasive species and animals • Application of nessesary pescitides for transported trees protection • Even water distribution • Supporting poles for growing tree • Soil nutrition under the tree through leafs decomposition
