Phytostabilization—Management Strategy for Stabilizing Trace Elements in Contaminated Soils [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2017
Contamination of soil by copper (Cu) has become a serious problem throughout the world, causing the reduction of agricultural yield and harmful effects on human health by entering the food chain. A glasshouse pot experiment was designed to evaluate the potential use of halloysite as an immobilizing agent in the aided phytostabilization of Cu ...

Phytostabilization potential of ornamental plants grown in soil contaminated with cadmium

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2018
In a greenhouse experiment, five ornamental plants, Osmanthus fragrans (OF), Ligustrum vicaryi L. (LV), Cinnamomum camphora (CC), Loropetalum chinense var. rubrum (LC), and Euonymus japonicas cv. Aureo-mar (EJ), were studied for the ability to phytostabilization for Cd-contaminated soil.
