Gangneung Gyeongpo Wildfire Soil Restoration Project
A case of applying nature-based restoration technology to wildfire-degraded soil and rebuilding the foundation for vegetation recovery.
After the Gangneung Gyeongpo wildfire, the soil in the affected area became severely degraded and vegetation could no longer re-establish easily. Code of Nature applied its moss-based soil restoration technology to improve damaged soil conditions and create the basis for vegetation recovery to begin again.
Restoration Results
Achieved over ground cover
Improved NDVI by more than
Improved soil physicochemical properties by more than
Re-established the foundation for vegetation recovery in a wildfire-damaged site
The key outcome of this project is not limited to improved numbers. More importantly, it created the conditions for vegetation to re-establish in a weakened post-fire soil environment. This means that the interrupted process of natural recovery was able to restart.
