Ecological and Economic Assessment of the Applicability of Artificial Soils
EDN: IJCTYS
Abstract
The need for artificial soil creation is examined, and the potential for assessing their applicability using ecological-economic approaches is characterized, primarily through the application of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) concept of "units of nature." A systematic description is provided of both the methods for creating artificial soil technologies and the assessment of the resulting environmental, economic, and financial risks, as well as management approaches within the conceptual approach of "units of nature".
Keywords
