At CREAF we have long-established experience in the protection and rehabilitation of highly degraded areas, the valorization of organic waste for technosol construction, soil ecotoxicology, field soil profile description for soil quality, taxonomy and capability assessments in human managed or natural environments. Based on this experience, we have elaborated protocols which help optimizing the restoration process.

Our services are addressed to companies and professionals associated with the restoration of degraded lands, territorial managers, agronomists, farmers, waste management companies, researchers, administration technicians, and private supported aiming to land restoration or remediation, waste management or soil quality and diversity assessments.

  • Technical and testimonial expert soil reports
  • Ecotoxicological studies
  • Restoration of quarries and other degraded spaces

  • Field description of soil profiles
  • Soil analysis
  • Soil ecosystem services assessment (carbon stocks, nutrients recycling, biodiversity)

Over the past few years, various emblematic projects have demonstrated the experience and quality of the services offered by CREAF in this field.
