Combined effects of soil multi‐contamination by metals and metalloids and drought slow down the ecological restoration of a Mediterranean scrubland

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
In Mediterranean ecosystems, soil contamination by metals and metalloids and drought represent major abiotic stresses whose combined effects on plant communities remain poorly understood, hindering effective ecological restoration practices. Here we evaluated the responses of plant community and species to combined stresses during a 4‐year ecological ...

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.

Phytoaccumulation of chromium by hemp and ryegrass in rice husk biochars, nano-zero valent zinc and vermicompost amended tannery wastewater soil

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Chromium (Cr) contamination of soil threatens environmental and human health, necessitating effective and sustainable remediation solutions. Here we explored the impact of rice husk biochar (RH-BC), nano-RH-BC, vermicompost, nano-zero valent zinc (nZVZn),

The capacities of Hedera helix from the Bor region for PAH accumulation in the root and implications for phytostabilization

Zaštita Materijala, 2023
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered as the pollutants of highest priority, and their remediation is of a global concern. The purpose of this study was to investigate the phytoremediation potential of Hedera helix (Hh) determining the ...

Nutritional Status in Grapevine–Alfalfa Intercropping System on Agricultural and Heavy Metal‐Contaminated Soils

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Wild grapevine was cultivated either alone or in association with Medicago sativa–rhizobia symbiosis on two soil types: an agricultural soil and a contaminated one. In the present work, we observed that in the agricultural soil, grapevine intercropped with the alfalfa–rhizobium combination exhibited a significant increase in whole plant biomass ...

Assisted Phytoremediation between Biochar and Crotalaria pumila to Phytostabilize Heavy Metals in Mine Tailings

Plants
The increasing demand for mineral resources has generated mine tailings with heavy metals (HM) that negatively impact human and ecosystem health. Therefore, it is necessary to implement strategies that promote the immobilization or elimination of HM ...

Dynamics of Miscanthus spp. Overwinter Leaf Litter Drop and Decomposition

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2025.
Understanding leaf litter cycling and decomposition is key to modelling the carbon balance of and sustainability of biomass crops such as the giant perennial grass, Miscanthus. Our paper monitored overwinter leaf shedding from six Miscanthus genotypes planted in a replicated field trial, including the current commercial clone M.

Perspectives From Nature‐Based Solutions to Restore Soil and Ecosystems

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
ABSTRACT Over the past decade, research into nature‐based solutions (NBS) for protecting and restoring soil health and ecosystem functionality has notably increased. The close interrelationship between the effectiveness of NBS and soil health is increasingly emphasized in the relevant scientific literature. Nevertheless, soil quality monitoring remains

Metabolic Plasticity and Abiotic Stress Adaptation in Freshwater Algae During Phycoremediation of Polluted River Water

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Freshwater algae possess remarkable metabolic flexibility and environmental resilience, enabling them to adapt to polluted habitats and contribute to ecological restoration. This study investigates the physiological and biochemical responses of five green algal taxa: Monoraphidium sp., Scenedesmus sp., Nephrocytium sp., Chlorococcum sp., and ...
