Abstract
In this article the results of collaboration interdisciplinary laboratory research on the new lignin-based soil stabilisers conducted in the framework of the international Eureka project EI2622 by Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry and Klaipeda University from Lithuania are discussed. For the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea in the regions of Latvia and Lithuania soil erosion is an especially urgent problem mainly in connection with the peculiarities of sandy soils. The diminishing soil erosion in Baltic countries is historically based on planting trees and erecting hedges around the crops. Unfortunately, these methods for soil erosion control are labour-intensive and not very effective. One of the attractive solutions to this problem may be a method for biological reinforcement of the sandy soil surface by hydroseeding, which combines simultaneous application of plant seeds, mineral fertilisers, mulch and a soil stabiliser, adhering the seeds to the sandy surface, forming reinforced surface layers and preventing water runoff and soil loss.
