Last year´s drought was too extreme for some of the poplar trees we planted in Jundiz-Ariñez (Álava, northern Spain) as part of our PhytoSUDOE phytomanagement project. Half of them were inoculated with mycorrhizae, to facilitate their establishment. This week, after an in situ analysis of tree status, carried out by members of NEIKER, University of the Basque Country and the Centre for Environmental Studies (Vitoria-Gasteiz), we decided to plant some new poplars in both the degraded and contaminated plots.
