Climate Change Adaptation Tools for Environmental Risk Mitigation of Acid Sulphate Soils (CATERMASS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Background
From an environmental point of view, acid sulphate soils (AS-soils) are regarded as the most problematic soil types in the world. Finland has Europe's largest areas of AS-soils (c. 1 000-2 000 km2). Land uplift has caused these sulphide-bearing sediments to emerge above the current sea-level. Through reclamation, burning of the peat cover and h ...
