Perspectives From Nature‐Based Solutions to Restore Soil and Ecosystems
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

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 ...

Heavy Metal Contamination in Arenillas Ecological Reserve Soils: Correlation and Conservation Impact
ABSTRACT This study addresses the critical knowledge gap regarding heavy metal contamination in the soils of the Arenillas Ecological Reserve (AERv), located on the southwest coast of Ecuador. Despite being a fragile and highly biodiverse ecosystem, little is known about the magnitude, spatial distribution, and drivers of heavy metal contamination in ...

Is aided phytostabilization a suitable technique for the remediation of tailings?
Mining activity in Cartagena‐La Union mining district (SE Spain) dates back more than 2500 years. Consequently, large amounts of sterile materials with large metal(loid) contents (mostly Zn and Pb) have accumulated in tailings ponds.

Enhanced phytostabilization of cadmium by a halophyte—Acanthus ilicifoliusL.
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.

Metal Tolerance Capability of Helichrysum microphyllum Cambess. subsp. tyrrhenicum Bacch., Brullo & Giusso: a Candidate for Phytostabilization in Abandoned Mine Sites [PDF]
Sardinia was known as an important mine pole in Europe during his history. Still after decades from mine closure, 75.000.000 m3 of mine waste, rich in heavy metals, were left abandoned causing a huge environmental legacy on the mine district area ...
