#ProjectMOD4GRIN - Presentation at the 6th Scientific Conference 'Biodiversity of the Soil Environment

The 6th Scientific Conference 'Biodiversity of the Soil Environment' took place on 5-6 September at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institute in Puławy.

Prof. Marta Pogrzeba presented a self-sufficient, intelligent module of green urban infrastructure in adaptation to climate change.
Once again, the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation (PIB) in Puławy hosted a meeting of scientists involved in environmental microbiology and research in scientific fields related to biodiversity, microbial ecology, general microbiology, environmental protection, agriculture and horticulture. During the plenary session, Prof. Marta Pogrzeba presented her paper "Self-sustainable, intelligent module of green urban infrastructure in adaptation to climate change - the Mod4Grin project in theory and practice" by Pogrzeba M., Krzyżak J., Szada-Borzyszkowska A., Rusinowski S..
The natural environment, with special emphasis on soil and plant ecosystems, is the richest resource and source of microorganisms. Microorganisms play a key role in the proper functioning of most soil processes.

"The conference was an opportunity to present the results of IETU's scientific activities and to have an inspiring exchange of ideas, information and experiences related to the problem of soil biodiversity," says Prof. M. Pogrzeba. - The quality of the soil environment is inextricably linked to its use or cultivation."
