Reducing Heavy Metal Contamination in Soil and Water Using Phytoremediation

Plants
The increase in industrialization has led to an exponential increase in heavy metal (HM) soil contamination, which poses a serious threat to public health and ecosystem stability.

Effects of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Biomass Production and Nickel Yield in the Hyperaccumulator Bornmuellera emarginata Under Field Conditions

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of fertilization regime (organic vs. inorganic) on the growth performance, nickel accumulation, and total nickel yield of the nickel hyperaccumulator Bornmuellera emarginata, cultivated under realistic field conditions in its native ultramafic environment in Northern Greece over a 3‐year period ...

Comparative Ionomics of Lycopodiaceae and Selaginellaceae Across Diverse Soil Types in Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
We conducted a comparative ionomic analysis of Lycopodiaceae and Selaginellaceae collected from diverse soil types in Japan, including serpentine soils and solfatara fields, to examine how evolutionary lineage and soil environment shape elemental composition in lycophytes.

Enhanced Nickel Uptake in Mixed Plant Communities of Hyperaccumulator and Non‐Hyperaccumulator Species Under Nickel Stress

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study investigated how species richness and biotope space affect phytoextracted nickel mass. Growing monocultures and bicultures of two endemic species across a nickel stress gradient revealed that bicultures generally enhanced soil nickel bioavailability, aboveground biomass, and nickel phytoextraction compared to monocultures.

Distribution and Seasonal Dynamics of Manganese and Associated Elements in Leaves of Manganese‐Hyperaccumulating Ilex Species

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
We investigated seasonal variations and tissue‐level distributions of Mn and associated elements in two Japanese Ilex species using time‐series leaf analyses and benchtop micro–X‐ray fluorescence imaging. Our results revealed strong temporal synchrony between Mn and Ca accumulation, species‐specific Mn–Zn relationships, and clear spatial partitioning ...

Plants strategies against metal phytotoxicity as a key prerequisite for an effective phytoremediation: Excluders and hyperaccumulators: Part II

Zaštita Materijala, 2014
Plants have a wide range of mechanisms which can be activated in the processes of heavy metal detoxification and tolerance. The most successful mechanisms have been developed by specific plant species, known as hyperaccumulators, which may accumulate ...

X‐ray Fluorescence Microscopy Computed Tomography Reveals Internal Distribution of Selenium in Hyperaccumulator Plant Seeds

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Selenium hyperaccumulators are plants able to accumulate over 1000 mg/kg in their shoots while growing in their natural environments. The distribution of selenium in the seeds of the three key hyperaccumulating species was elucidated using X‐ray fluorescence microscopy computed tomography (XFM‐CT). ABSTRACT Selenium hyperaccumulators are plants able to

METHODS OF BIOREMEDIATION OF SOILS CONTAMINATED WITH HEAVY METALS DUE TO MILITARY ACTIVITIES

Ecology, Human, Society
Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 resulted in extensive contamination of agricultural lands with heavy metals originating from ammunition residues and destroyed military equipment. This review systematizes current bioremediation methods for
