Growth and physiological responses of three poplar clones grown on soils artificially contaminated with heavy metals, diesel fuel, and herbicides.

We tested the growth and physiological responses of three poplar clones [ Bartr. ex Marsh. 'Bora', 'PE 19/66'; (Dode) Guinier 'Pannonia'] grown for 3 years on soils artificially contaminated with heavy metals, diesel fuel, and herbicides at the Experimental Estate of the Institute of Lowland Forestry and Environment (ILFE), University of Novi Sad, Serbia.

Growth, physiology, and phytoextraction potential of poplar and willow established in soils amended with heavy-metal contaminated, dredged river sediments.

Phytotechnologies have been used worldwide to remediate and restore damaged ecosystems, especially those caused by industrial byproducts leaching into rivers and other waterways. The objective of this study was to test the growth, physiology, and phytoextraction potential of poplar and willow established in soils amended with heavy-metal contaminated, dredged river sediments from the Great Bačka Canal near Vrbas City, Serbia. The sediments were applied to greenhouse-grown trees of Populus deltoides Bartr.
