Structural soils are used in most parts of the world to extend root growth to soil volumes beneath pavements. Since structural soils were studied first, more than 20 years have passed.
In a conference arranged by the University of Copenhagen, the Swedish Universiy of Agricultural Sciences and the University of Helsinki, assisted by the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, and Bioforsk, Norway and supported by the Nordic Fund for Urban Trees (Nordisk Fond for Bytræer), international experts from science and practice shared knowledge and experiences with structural soils.
