The Presentation of Miscomar+ project at the Final Conference “CrOpportunity – Perennial Crops for Bioeconomy” – meet the implementers of Dendromass4Europe, GRACE and MISCOMAR+ projects:

MISCOMAR Plus project was presented at EuroScience2022 Katowice Regional Site in the Science for Local government panel. Prof. Marta Pogrzeba from IETU in the presentation “Adaptation of cities to climate change and examples of good post-industrial land development” presented, among other things, how the Miscomar Plus project research contributes to the transformation of contaminated land and gives it new functions.

On July 13, 2022, the Miscomar plus project was presented during a study visit of a delegation from Kosovo within the Secretariat of the European Commission's "Initiative for Coal Regions in Transition in the Western Balkans and Ukraine".

During the meeting, Dr. Jacek Krzyżak from the Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas presented the Miscomar plus project in the City Hall of Bytom. After that, the guests visited the project's experimental plantation on soil contaminated with heavy metals.

In late April and Early May 2022 two field trials were set up as part of the continuing Miscomar+ project. Building on knowledge acquired in 2021, these experiments are testing the effects of miscanthus mulch and plastic mulch on the establishment of miscanthus. Furthermore, the effect of fertilizer in combination with miscanthus mulch will be investigated to see if this increases establishment success.
