6.2.5
Predictability
of the dendroremediation process
Predictability
of dendroremediation is basing
on the network of our results in outdoor trials, dendrotoxicity experiments, determinations of the fate of
pollutants, radiotracer results, transpiration measurements, and yield
estimations in the field.
We are able to
make rough calculation of both, the tree-specific
dendroremediation capacity of newly planted trees and the natural attenuation
potential of adult trees growing in TNT contaminated site forests.
Concluding
from our project results we are able to make proposals for the use of trees for
sanitation purposes and for the enhancement of natural attenuation.
Characteristics
of the examined trees and their suitability for dendroremediation are
summarized in the linked DendroRemediation Tables.
Thus,
we have a decision help, which kind of trees should be planted on the respective
area or the respective decontamination system.
