Aquatic plants for phytostabilization of cadmium and zinc in hydroponic experiments

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
Cadmium (Cd) may be toxic to aquatic plants even at modest concentrations, and excessive quantities of zinc (Zn) decrease plant performance. The Cd and Zn phytoremediation potential of several aquatic plant species (Thalia geniculate, Cyperus alternifolius, Canna indica, Eichhornia crassipes, Pistia stratiotes) and one grass species (Vetiveria ...

Phytostabilization of Soils Contaminated with Cadmium by Peristrophe bivalvis

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology
This 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

Assessment of Fescue Cultivars for Phytostabilization Effectiveness

2006
Previous 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.

Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria for Phytostabilization of Mine Tailings

Environmental Science & Technology, 2008
Eolian 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 ...

Bacterial endophytes enhance phytostabilization in soils contaminated with uranium and lead

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2017
The combined use of plants and bacteria is a promising approach for the remediation of polluted soil. In the current study, the potential of bacterial endophytes in partnership with Leptochloa fusca (L.) Kunth was evaluated for the remediation of uranium (U)- and lead (Pb)-contaminated soil. L.

Challenging synergistic activity of poplar–bacteria association for the Cd phytostabilization

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2015
The synergistic activity between plants and microorganisms may contribute to the implementation of proactive management strategies in the stabilization of contaminated sites, although heavy metals, such as cadmium (Cd), are potentially toxic to them. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of tolerance to Cd contamination (supplying twice 40 ...

Bioavailability/Phytostabilization of Xenobiotics in Soil

2017
Bioavailability of xenobiotics is not a single value that can be measured by a single chemical or even biological method. It is a process that, as any processes in nature, varies in time and space. Total xenobiotic concentrations in soil are, and most likely will be, considered in risk assessment of contaminated sites, even though they do not reflect ...

Phytostabilization of a landfill containing coal combustion waste

Environmental Geosciences, 2005
Abstract The establishment of a vegetative cover to enhance evapotranspiration and control runoff and drainage was examined as a method for stabilizing a landfill containing coal combustion waste. Suitable plant species and pretreatment techniques in the form of amendments, tilling, and chemical stabilization were evaluated.

Potential of rose for phytostabilization of chromium contaminated soils

Indian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2013
Phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals has received considerable attention in recent years. Because of the contamination of food and vegetable crops with heavy metals, greater emphasis has been given to the cultivation of floriculture plants for remediation of the contaminated soils.
