Restoring forests on poor sandy soils

In the Dutch SUPERB demo area, forests on degraded sandy soils are being restored through aerial application of nutrient-rich rock dust and planting of rich litter tree species like hazel, lime, and maple. These measures aim to improve soil health and forest vitality across 60 hectares owned by 16 private forest owners.
