D3.2. Soil Dysfunction Classification Report
Deliverable D3.2 provides a comprehensive overview of soil dysfunctions affecting post‑mining landscapes in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Greece, and introduces an integrated framework for classifying their severity in relation to agricultural reclamation potential. The findings underscore that soil dysfunctions, whether physical, hydrological, chemical/toxicological, or biological - rarely occur independently. Their interactions shape both the feasibility of agricultural production and the selection of appropriate reclamation pathways. The proposed three‑degree classification offers a clear, actionable structure for interpreting site conditions: from mildly constrained but functional soils, through significantly limited yet non‑phytotoxic substrates, to severely degraded or phytotoxic areas requiring major interventions.
