Cadmium availability in soil and retention in oak roots: Potential for phytostabilization [PDF]

Chemosphere, 2009
Afforestation of contaminated land by trees is considered as a feasible strategy for the extensive stabilization of contaminants. In this work, we studied the patterns of metal availability (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) in a contaminated and afforested area. Specifically, we observed the response of Holm oak (Quercus ilex subsp. ballota) leaves to changes in the

Cadmium and Mercury phytostabilization from soil using Miscanthus × giganteus [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractThe determination of the effects of cadmium and mercury on the growth, biomass productivity and phytoremediation potential of Miscanthus × giganteus (MxG) grown on contaminated soil was the main aim of this paper. The use of bioenergy plants as an innovative strategy in phytotechnology gives additional benefits, including mitigation and ...

Assisted Phytostabilization of Mine-Tailings with Prosopis laevigata (Fabaceae) and Biochar

Plants, 2022
Phytoremediation is a cost-effective technique to remediate heavy metal (HM) polluted sites. However, the toxic effects of HM can limit plant establishment and development, reducing phytoremediation effectiveness.

Reactive transport models are cornerstone tools for optimizing the phytostabilization management of mining residues

International audienceSecuring mining residues represents a major environmental challenge. Most metal mines produce waste containing iron (Fe) and sulfur (S), along with trace elements such as arsenic (As) and lead (Pb).

Potential of phytohormone producing rhizobacteria to improve growth, SPAD value and Cd uptake of mustard under Cd stress

Soil & Environment, 2020
Heavy metal pollution due to irrigation with wastewater is the major issue for crop production around the big cities and metropolitans. Farmers grow mustard and other fodder crops in the peri-urban areas to meet the fodder requirements of animals ...

Concept of Aided Phytostabilization of Contaminated Soils in Postindustrial Areas

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2017
The experiment was carried out in order to evaluate the effects of trace element immobilizing soil amendments, i.e., chalcedonite, dolomite, halloysite, and diatomite on the chemical characteristics of soil contaminated with Cr and the uptake of metals by plants.

Securing of an Industrial Soil Using Turfgrass Assisted by Biostimulants and Compost Amendment

Agronomy, 2020
This work aimed to study the effects of compost (applied at two rates) and two commercial microbial biostimulants on the mobility and bioavailability of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in an industrial soil phytostabilized by Dactylis glomerata L. or a

Phytostabilization of metals by indigenous riparian vegetation

Water SA, 2017
Given the increasing pressure of man-made activities on riparian zones, the capacity of the riparian vegetation along the Upper Olifants River, South Africa, to phytoextract and phytostabilize aluminium (Al), manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) from the soil was investigated.

Toward a new paradigm for tailings phytostabilization – nature of the substrates, amendment options and anthropogenic pedogenesis

, 2014
Base metal tailings (BMT) are normally sulfidic and contain high abundance of residue metals. Their adverse impacts on the environment can last for decades to centuries if without appropriate stabilization.
