The initial surface abundances of Population II stars have been altered by the interplay between convection, rotational mixing and diffusion. In particular the shallower the outer convection zone the stronger the diffusion impact. We present preliminary results on constraining the extension of the convection zones of Population II stars thanks to 3D hydrodynamical simulations.
