The aim of this research is to investigate the suitability of sand, clay and peat soil mixture to revegetate TiO2 sand tailings.
The research objectives will include;
- Determining the proportion of sand, clay and peat required to retain water and nutrients to support plant growth on TiO2 sand tailings.
- Identifying suitable tree species that can grow well on sand, clay and peat anthroposol in a temperate climate
- Determine whether the sand, clay and peat mixture will enhance biological fertility of TiO2 sand tailings.
- Determine the impact of sand, clay and peat mixture on the acidity of TiO2 sand tailings.
