Bullas degraded areas and Moratalla can become the first places to successfully reforested under high levels of aridity, variation in day / night temperature and poor soil.
Research by the Environmental Center Cajamar Foundation in the past two years have resulted in an amendment developed from agricultural waste compost and zeolite increases the chances of success of a reforestation campaign even in the most extreme conditions .
Following the success of tests in Almeria, being found in these two places Murcia municipalities with the most unfavorable conditions for the second phase of field testing.
During the coming months, in these plots, as well as to test the response and compare the results collected in the areas of Almeria, is going to try a new option which consists of planting using biodegradable pots in which the amendment has been applied adequate and in which the plant has grown, strengthened during a period of time prior to planting to prepare for the trial period that begins this week.
As the test uses a Moratalla vegetation in the area, as is being applied to an ancient sealed site that seeks to verify the effectiveness of face to ecological reforestation, the Bullas includes providing variant type of xeriscape plants as the plot is on the edge of the urban area and both the City and the Foundation team have been more appropriate Cajamar find that the result is more suited to plant a garden of Mount Forest.
If the expected results are confirmed, the reforestation program of the Foundation Cajamar may take place in degraded areas where until now was unthinkable to recover a major woodland.
