My research lines are wide and cover all the aspects of soil use and restoration, from macroscale (urban planning, legal aspects, socioeconomic aspects) to microscale (interaction roots-nutrients, soil geochemistry). I have researched about geochemical aspects of heavy metal polluted soils in mining areas and agricultural soils affected by external contamination. It includes edaphologic properties with influence in soil fertility but also other properties related to solubility and mobility of pollutants and/or nutrients. All these elements allow to establish a strong base in order to select the most suitable use for the soil or, the best methodology to perform the soil revegetation. I have studied the behaviour of plant communities in polluted soils. These studies include the capabilities of metal uptake and the description of the seasonal dynamics. These aspects, which have not been traditionally included in studies of metal tolerant plant species, are quite important in order to establish the most suitable revegetation programs in polluted soils.I have also evaluated different techniques employed in determining nutrients availability: methodologies which use a single reactive in a single step (e.g. EDTA, DTPA, sodium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, water); methods which use various reagents in different steps (e.g. method of seven steps by Zeien and Brümmer); use of binding gels DGT (Diffussive Gradient in Thin Films). The comparison among all these techniques has provided me a better point of view in order to give suitable interpretations for nutrient availability studies. As a novel technique, I have applied new techniques of neutron radiography to study in situ the patterns of growth of plant roots in heterogeneously polluted soils. These aspects are important to determinate the plant mechanisms which have influence in metal tolerance. The performing of these techniques includes the use of imaging process software and other applications to generate models. This research line is very interesting for agriculture since it is possible to model the water uptake through an in situ monitoring of roots. In addition, some standards of root growing, specific for each plant species, can be generated for soils with heterogeneously characteristics (density, porosity, etc.).
I research currently on the phytomanagement of metal(loid) polluted sites on semiarid areas as an effective tool to avoid soil erosion and thus the spread of pollutants via wind or run-off water. In order to achieve the establishment of a suitable vegetation cover, these techniques must involve a complete understanding of different abiotic (topography, climate, edaphic properties, economic resources) and biotic (locally adapted plant species, plant stress factors) parameters. This integrated approach to the revegetation of polluted areas has been recently incorportated into phytoremediation schemes and, defined as phytomanagement, is being successfully applied in the restoration of metal- polluted sites around the world. In the case of the semiarid areas affected by mining activities in South Spain, many limiting factors for plant growth such as drought, low soil fertility, low organic matter content, salinity, extreme pHs and phytotoxic soil metal concentrations make difficult the selection of suitable plant species and the establishment of stable and selfsustaining plant communities. Numerous scientific studies have revealed the great potential that the study of native metal tolerant plant species may hold to carry out low cost restoration projects and to improve fundamental research in plant resistance-tolerance mechanisms to phytotoxic stresses. The main goal of my current research line is to characterize soil-water-plant relationships in plant species potentially useful for revegetation of semiarid mining areas, focusing on the physiological aspects of the combined stress caused by diverse growth-limiting factors (water, nutrients, metals, salinity) and their spatial variability.
