Metal concentrations in soil, soil solution, grass, earth worm and batch tests (ISO 11268-2) from a field trial with contaminated soil, biochar and peat
type: Dataset
description: The dataset contains data from a field trial in which soil contaminated with metals and PAHs was stabilised with biochar and peat. The aim was to reduce the solubility and availability of the contaminants while improving soil quality. The trial and analyses are described in more detail in an open access publication in Environments: https://doi.org/10.3390/environments12110447 The data reported here are concentrations of metals, other elements, organic carbon, pH and CEC in soil; concentrations of metals, other elemetns and dissolved organic carbon as well as pH in the soil solution and eluate from leaching tests (batch tests); metal concentrations in grass (Lolium Perenne) and earthworms (Eisenia fetida).
