INVESTIGATION OF PHYTOINDICATION EFFECTS DUE TO CADMIUM CONTAMINATION [PDF]
Heavy metals are one of the most dangerous contaminants in the natural environment that cause toxic effects in the cells of plants and animals. They are not decomposed in the environment but consequently accumulated in the tissues of living organisms.

The study provides an eco‐friendly, nature‐based approach for biomonitoring and management of mining pollution to ensure aquatic ecosystem sustainability in sub‐Saharan Africa mining landscapes. We investigated the phytoindication and phytoremediation potential of Typha domingensis for the management of mining pollution in tropical lotic ecosystems ...

ABSTRACT Estimation and knowledge of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils and herbaceous plants are vital for ecotoxicological reasons. This study explored PTE accumulation in the aerial organ (leaf) of herbaceous plants in PTE‐contaminated soils in a linear transect of three localities close to the Litavka River in Pribram, Czech Republic.

HEAVY METAL ACCUMULATION IN ROOTS OF ТARAXACUM OFFICINALE WIGG [PDF]
Soil is an active acceptor for some elements, heavy metals in particular. Microelements are firmly sorbed and interact with soil humus layer. At the same time some plants are resistant to soil contamination and can be used as bioindicators.

A comprehensive method for processing lime mud from water treatment processes into high‐strength anhydrite cement was reported. The method involves the interaction of lime mud with waste sulfuric acid from the production of polymer fibers using a one‐step structure‐controlled approach in the (CaO·Ca(OH)2·CaCO3)—H2SO4—H2O system at a temperature of 40°C.

Fluctuating asymmetry in ecological and environmental research: Quo vadis?
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Májeková et al. (2024) demonstrated that leaf fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is not a reliable indicator of stress. I broaden the perspective on the findings by these authors. High prevalence of confirmation bias could explain why as much as 39% of 131 unique entries (plant
