Screening of Polyalthia longifolia and Aloe vera for their phytoextractability of heavy metals in tropical soil of the Niger Delta

open access: yesJournal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2016
The work focuses on the screening of Polyalthia longifolia and Aloe vera for their phytoextractability of  heavy metal in soil of the Niger Delta. 5kg of soil was polluted with 100 mg of Zn, Fe and Pb each  replicated 9 times.

Synchrotron Micro‐X‐Ray Fluorescence Elemental Imaging Reveals Zinc Distribution in the Hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola (Crassulaceae)

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Sedum plumbizincicola is a zinc‐cadmium hyperaccumulator native to China with high potential for use in phytoremediation. Synchrotron micro‐X‐ray fluorescence elemental imaging shows that zinc is localized in the leaf tips, petioles, and nodes with the highest Zn concentrations observed in the epidermis and vascular system of both leaves and stems ...

Effects of nitrate to ammonium ratio and nitrogen level on growth of an invasive plant Alternanthera philoxeroides in cadmium polluted water

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our findings suggest that nitrogen level and the ratio of nitrate to ammonium have an interaction effect on the overall growth of Alternanthera philoxeroides in Cd polluted water. We argue that when considering the growth of this invasive species in Cd polluted water, it is equally important to consider both the effects of nitrate to ammonium ratio and
