Phytostabilization as Soil Remediation Strategy
2013Heavy metals are natural components of the terrestrial ecosystem. However, soils could become contaminated by the accumulation of heavy metal mixtures as a result of human activities. One of the most important concerns associated with heavy metals is their persistence and harmful effects to humans and the environment.

Findings on the Phytoextraction and Phytostabilization of Soils Contaminated with Heavy Metals
Biological Trace Element Research, 2009As a result of human activities such as mining, metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today. Phytoremediation, an emerging cost-effective, non-intrusive, and aesthetically pleasing technology that uses the remarkable ability of plants to concentrate elements can be potentially used to remediate metal-contaminated ...

Acanthus ilicifolius L. a promising candidate for phytostabilization of zinc
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2017The potential of a halophyte species-Acanthus ilicifolius L.-to phytostabilize zinc (Zn) grown under hydroponics culture conditions was critically evaluated in this study. The propagules after treating with ZnSO4 (4 mM) were analysed for the bioaccumulation pattern, translocation rate of Zn to the shoot, effects of Zn accumulation on organic solutes ...

Assessment of Fescue Cultivars for Phytostabilization Effectiveness
2006Previous research has identified Festuca cultivars as good candidates for use as phytostabilizers in metal-contaminated soils. Festuca species combine good metal sorption properties in root tissues with high metal tolerance and proven cultivation methods.

Soil amendments for cadmium phytostabilization by five marigold cultivars
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019In recent years, ornamental plants have come under investigation as phytoremediation agents. In addition to reducing contaminant concentrations in soil, such plants support local economies by serving social (e.g., religious) and decorative purposes. Greenhouse studies investigated the phytostabilization potential of soil cadmium (Cd) by five cultivars ...

Arsenic (As) appears in the environment as various As species, which may vary in plant uptake and toxicity. Moreover, As exposure may vary between habitat due to availability and speciation, both of which are influenced by redox potential. To decrease As uptake, addition of silicate may be a tool.The aim of the study was to investigate how the external

Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria for Phytostabilization of Mine Tailings
Environmental Science & Technology, 2008Eolian dispersion of mine tailings in arid and semiarid environments is an emerging global issue for which economical remediation alternatives are needed. Phytostabilization, the revegetation of these sites with native plants, is one such alternative. Revegetation often requires the addition of bulky amendments such as compost which greatly increases ...

Trace metal accumulation by Ranunculus sceleratus: implications for phytostabilization
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2017This study investigated the growth response of Ranunculus sceleratus to pollution and its capacity to accumulate trace metals for its use as a phytoremediator in Lake Maruit, Egypt. Three basins (main basin, fish farm, and southwestern basin) representing the natural distribution of the plant as well as the pollution loads in the lake, were chosen for ...

Phytostabilization of Soils Contaminated with Cadmium by Peristrophe bivalvis
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and ToxicologyThis study aims to investigate the ability of cadmium (Cd) accumulation in Peristrophe bivalvis cultivated in a pot experiment for 60 days at various Cd amounts of 0, 20, 60, and 100 mg/kg. Throughout the experiment, no toxic effects were observed, and the presence of Cd did not inhibit the growth of the plants. A linear correlation coefficient (P
