Contract report to the Department for Communities and Local Government detailing research over a ten-year period to examine tree growth on modern containment landfill sites.
In 1993-4, experimental tree species plots were set up on five clay capped landfill sites across England, following newly proposed standards for tree establishment. Initial data collection indicated that useful insights into tree species most tolerant of site conditions on landfills could be gained. This report presents an overview for the tree species experiments for the period to 2003.
