Unlocking Biochar’s Potential: Innovative Strategies for Sustainable Remediation of Heavy Metal Stress in Tobacco Plants

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Tobacco, being a globally cultivated crop, holds significant social and economic importance. Tobacco plants are susceptible to the adverse effects of heavy metals (HMs), particularly cadmium (Cd), which hinders root development, disrupts water balance, and impedes nutrient absorption. Higher concentrations of HMs, especially Cd, naturally accumulate in

Enhanced phytostabilization of cadmium by a halophyte—Acanthus ilicifoliusL.

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2016
Heavy metal pollution in mangrove wetlands has become a growing matter of concern as it serves as sink and source for toxic heavy metals including cadmium (Cd). The present study evaluates the phytostabilization potential of a halophyte, Acanthus ilicifolius L., toward Cd under hydroponic culture conditions.

Stabilization of Fly Ash Deposits through Selected Cereal Crops

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
Fly ash, a waste product from burning coal in power plants, occupies important spaces and is a major harm for environment: water, air, soil and associated ecosystems. New deposits do not have available nutrients for plant growth.

Phytoremediation Characterization of Heavy Metals by Some Native Plants at Anthropogenic Polluted Sites in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Resources
Many anthropogenic activities have lately resulted in soil adulteration by heavy metals (HMs). The assessment of native plant species that grow in the polluted environments is of great importance for using these plants in phytoremediation techniques ...

Potential of Eucalyptus camaldulensis for phytostabilization and biomonitoring of trace-element contaminated soils

PLOS ONE, 2017
Soil pollution by trace elements (TEs) from mining and industrial activity is widespread and presents a risk to humans and ecosystems. The use of trees to immobilize TEs (phytostabilization) is a low-cost and effective method of soil remediation. We aimed to determine the chemical composition of leaves and flower buds of Eucalyptus camaldulensis in ...

In Situ Phytoremediation of Mine Tailings with High Concentrations of Cadmium and Lead Using Dodonaea viscosa (Sapindaceae)

Plants
The waste generated during metal mining activities contains mixtures of heavy metals (HM) that are not biodegradable and can accumulate in the surrounding biota, increasing risk to human and environmental health.

Biochar co-compost increases the productivity of Brassica napus by improving antioxidant activities and soil health and reducing lead uptake

Frontiers in Plant Science
Lead (Pb) is a serious toxic metal without any beneficial role in the biological system. Biochar (BC) has emerged as an excellent soil amendment to mitigate Pb toxicity. The impact of BC co-compost (BCC) in mitigating the toxic impacts of Pb has not been

Phytostabilization Potential of Yard long bean in Removing Cadmium from Soil [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2014
The effect of cadmium (Cd) on growth, physiology, distribution and tolerance was examined in root, shoot and leaves of yard-long bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis L.). The seeds were grown in pot culture under laboratory conditions for 60 days
