CarbonPark #Hiilipuisto tree measurements in autumn 2022 complete!

In the beginning of October, we visited the #HiiliPuisto #carbon sequestration park in Jätkäsaari Helsinki for the autumn 2022 measurements of trees, they had grown nicely for the most part, but in some cases, really impressively! We plan to publish the report of the first two years results of how #biochar affects tree growing media water retention capacity and tree growth by the end of 2022.

So, far, please have a look at our policy brief on general principles of such C parks: (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2021.672468/full), this has already a whopping 5000 views hinting that fixing carbon to urban parks really is interesting to many.

Thanks to all the team of CarbonLane project and #HiiliPuisto projects for fruitful collaboration! The work was done in collaboration with Aalto University and University of Helsinki and City of Helsinki. The growing media was provided by all major Finnish growing media companies BiHii, Biolan, Carbofex and Kiteen Mato ja Multa, HSY, Kekkilä and Tieluiska. The Carbon Lane project was funded by EIT Climate-KIC and the first follow-up project of the park, #Hiilipuisto, by Maiju ja Yrjö Rikalan Puutarhasäätiö. Thank you all, let's keep up the good work!

We'll continue the follow up in coming decades!
