Abstract Sustainability of urban soils lies in their ability to facilitate water and air permeabilities. Exogenous organic matter has been shown have a positive impact on these properties. Under conditions, large one‐time input an amendment was made the reconstituted soil. Two materials, green‐waste compost (gw) or cocompost from sewage sludge wood chips (sw), were mixed with sandy loam soil (40% v/v) placed 600‐L containers. Containers received 29‐cm thick layer soil–organic mix over 28‐cm...
This study investigates the evolution of microclimatic benefits following de-sealing a 64 m² patch (Oasis) inside parking lot located in suburbs Angers, France. Vegetation (trees and herbaceous species) was introduced. We compared microclimate Oasis with that neighboring asphalt area (negative control), meadow (positive under tree sealed (Figure 1). comparison conducted using on-site meteorological stations. Over two years de-sealing, variables were monitored, thermal comfort evaluated...
Soil sealing has been recognised as one of the main causes urban soil degradation in Europe. To tackle this issue, de-sealing measures have recently promoted cities to increase sustainability ecosystem services. our knowledge, very few evaluations projects yet done assess current framework these planning practices. Therefore, we conducted an online survey collect and analyse throughout mainland France. A 60-question was run over a 4-month-period, data about 57 were collected. The answers...
In urban conditions, the widescale availability of organic matter to be recycled and necessity for soil reconstitution (Technosol) has led input very large quantities (up 50% v/v). The long‐term degradation these in is not well known. We monitored, over a 60‐month period, total carbon (C) content particulate biochemical fractions reconstituted soils placed 600‐litre boxes under natural conditions. top layer was sandy loam amended with 20 or 40% sphagnum peat compost (sewage sludge, wood chip...
Ornamental tree planting and establishment in cities is a great challenge because urban soil physical properties are unfavourable to the development of root systems.Our objectives were measure (i) effects organic matter on development, (ii) ensuing properties.Using twenty-four 600-L planted or bare containers, we monitored such as dry bulk density, aggregate stability near-saturated hydraulic conductivity our reconstituted soils over 5.5-year period.A 28-cm thick top layer sandy loam amended...
Great quantities of organic matter are added reconstituting soils in urban conditions. To evaluate the efficiency on physical properties reconstituted soils, we studied effects loading intrinsic permeability mixed with peat. Percolation theory associated a statistical porosity approach was used to explain variation related porosity. After compression, sample measured and pore‐space morphology described by image analysis. An ellipse major axis ( ) minor b inscribed within each pore. All pores...
