This study aimed to investigate the underlying physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms responsible for Brassica napu's potential to remediate Cd-contaminated soil under current (CC) vs. future (FC) climate (400 vs. 800 ppm of CO, 21/14 °C vs.

This study aimed to assess Cd phytoextraction efficiency in well-watered and drought-stressed B. napus plants under current climate (CC, 21/14 °C, 400 ppm CO) and future climate (FC, 25/18 °C, 800 ppm CO) conditions. The underlying physiological mechanisms underpinning the obtained results were investigated by studying Cd (1, 10, 50, and 100 mg kg) effect on B.

Changes in soil moisture content accompanying ongoing climate change are expected to affect plant growth and contaminants behaviour in the soil. The study was aimed at investigating soil water content impact on the energy crop oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) efficiency to remediate Cd contaminated soil (1-250 mg kg).

Sewage sludge reuse in agriculture is increasing, however it can be an important route for contaminants to enter the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate earthworm Eisenia fetida capability to reduce heavy metal content in the sewage sludge (SS) amended soil and increase soil fertility in terms of soil nutrients content. Adult earthworms were introduced into aged SS amended soil (0-200 Mg ha) and left for 65 days.
