The CASUABIOTA project focuses on enhancing the restoration of ultramafic soils degraded by nickel mining using native Casuarinaceae trees. It aims to study the associated soil biota, including nitrogen-fixing bacteria and litter decomposition processes, to improve soil fertility and support ecological recovery.
Pioneer plant species native to tropical ultramafic areas can be useful tools for the restoration of ultramafic soils degraded by nickel mining activities.
Casuarinaceae trees are well known for its capacity to grow on nutrient-poor areas.
This is possible thanks to multiple adaptations, including the formation of actinorhizal symbioses with nitrogen-fixing Frankia actinobacteria.
Members of the genera Gymnostoma and Ceuthostoma (both from Casuarinaceae) colonise degraded ultramafic soils and pr…
