Design of the OpenSkyLab project area and plots: reusing molasse excavation materials as functional soils for targeted plant-soil applications


Date: 15-10-2025

The OpenSkyLab demonstrates on-site recycling of inert rock materials from tunneling activities into functional soils, tracks their evolution over time, and compares their performance across various potential uses. The scheme illustrates the spatial arrangement of the plots installed in the OpenSkyLab (Cessy, France), how they are constructed with different substrate layers and the plants used in the growth period 2025.
