ISO 11269-2:2012
Soil quality — Determination of the effects of pollutants on soil flora — Part 2: Effects of contaminated soil on the emergence and early growth of higher plants
This part of ISO 11269 describes a method to assess the quality of an unknown soil and the soil habitat function
by determining the emergence and early growth response of at least two terrestrial plant species compared
to reference or standard control soils. It is applicable to soils of unknown quality, e.g. from contaminated sites,
amended soils or soils after remediation.
