Screening High-Biomass Grasses for Cadmium Phytoremediation [PDF]

Plants
Investigating the ability of non-hyperaccumulator plants to grow in soils polluted by cadmium (Cd) and their potential for phytostabilization or phytoextraction is essential for assessing their use in phytomanagement efficiency.

Foliar spraying of indoleacetic acid (IAA) enhances the phytostabilization of Pb in naturally tolerant ryegrass by limiting the root-to-shoot transfer of Pb and improving plant growth [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Exogenous addition of IAA has the potential to improve the metal tolerance and phytostabilization of plants, but these effects have not been systematically investigated in naturally tolerant plants.

Biochemical, Catabolic, and PGP Activity of Microbial Communities and Bacterial Strains from the Root Zone of Baccharis linearis in a Mediterranean Mine Tailing

Microorganisms, 2023
The management of mine tailings (MT) is commonly workload heavy, intrusive, and expensive. Phytostabilization offers a promising approach for MT management; however, it poses challenges due to the unfavorable physicochemical properties of these wastes ...

Effects of 15-Year-Old Plantation on Soil Conditions, Spontaneous Vegetation, and the Trace Metal Content in Wood Products at Kipushi Tailings Dam

Frontiers in Soil Science, 2022
Phytostabilization is a more appropriate way for rehabilitation of metal-polluted environments in the Copperbelt region. A 1.5-hectare tree planting trial had been installed on the tailings dam (TD) with the help of organic matter (OM) mixed to topsoil ...

Assessment of the Transfer of Trace Metals to Spontaneous Plants on Abandoned Pyrrhotite Mine: Potential Application for Phytostabilization of Phosphate Wastes

Plants, 2022
The abandoned Kettara pyrrhotite mine (Marrakech region, Morocco) is a real source of acid mine drainage (AMD) and heavy metal pollution from previous mining operations—which has spread, particularly because of wind erosion.

Plants from the abandoned Nacozari mine tailings: evaluation of their phytostabilization potential [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Phytostabilization is a remediation technology that uses plants for in-situ stabilization of contamination in soils and mine tailings. The objective of this study was to identify native plant species with potential for phytostabilization of the abandoned
