"Forced engraftment", to constantly increase the probability of success of the intervention, with peat inputs in depth (L = 150 cm with a hole drilled from 32-40 mm) and granular slow release fertilizer type osmocote. The methodology pushes the roots to look for better conditions (depth and fertilizer) in depth and, at the same time, finds more humid soils than the interventions in the most critical hot periods.

LIFE THE GREEN LINK “RESTORE DESERTIFIED AREAS WITH AN INNOVATIVE TREE GROWING METHOD ACROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN BORDER TO INCREASE RESILIENCE”
What is this project trying to achieve? The Green Link aims to demonstrate the environmental and economic benefits of an innovative tree growing method that has the potential to restore desertified areas across the Mediterranean border. Through six trials in Spain, Italy and Greece in areas that suffer from desertification, the project will: 1. Demonstrate that Cocoon technology can help combat
desertification and climate change 2. Demonstrate the economic feasibility of an improved and more
sustainable technology to plant trees 3. Design specific ecological interventions (study of assisted migration
of species) 4. Integrate novel methodologies for the assessment of climate
change impact and resilience in the future. 5. Map ecosystem services for adaptation strategies in order to gain a
better understanding of the positive outputs of the project. 6. Replicate the project experience and actively engage stakeholders

Thanks!
Nature & the Sea thanks you, because desertification is the schizophrenic effect of the
Anthropocene due to Climate Change.
