Allelopathy and potential allelochemicals of as an invasive plant.

Allelopathy is the main chemical means in the invasion process of exotic plants and one of the key factors in grassland degradation. In this experiment, we investigated the effects of ethyl acetate phase extract (EAE), n-butanol phase extract (BE) and aqueous phase extract (AE) from the aboveground (stems and leaves) and roots of on seed germination and seedling growth of four forages ( L. L.

Evaluation of biogas production potential of trace element-contaminated plants via anaerobic digestion.

Within the domain of phytoremediation research, the proper disposal of harvestable plant parts, that remove pollutants from contaminated soil, has been attracted extensive attention. Here, the bioenergy generation capability of trace metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Mn, and As) polluted plants was assessed. The biogas production potential of accumulators or hyperaccumulator plants, Elsholtzia haichowensis, Sedum alfredii, Solanum nigrum, Phytolacca americana and Pteris vittata were 259.

Analysis of the long-term effectiveness of biochar immobilization remediation on heavy metal contaminated soil and the potential environmental factors weakening the remediation effect: A review.

Currently, the research and application of biochar in the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil has become a hotspot, especially regarding the remediation of agricultural land. Biochar has been proved to be effective in reducing the content of available heavy metals in the soil as well as the heavy metals in plants. However, the long-term effectiveness of biochar immobilization has not been widely studied.

The great potential for phytoremediation of abandoned tailings pond using ectomycorrhizal Pinus sylvestris.

To explore the potential of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) Pinus sylvestris (P. sylvestris) utilizing in the phytoremediation of a combined heavy metal contaminated tailings pond, Pisolithus sp.1(P1)-.

Cyclic and safety utilisation of Cu polluted biogas residue in saline-alkali soil.

The proper disposal of copper (Cu) polluted plant residues after phytoremediation has attracted extensive attention. In this study, the Cu-polluted biogas residue produced through anaerobic digestion was applied directly. Wheat, soybean and pakchoi were grown in pots for four seasons over two years.

Recycling of Chemical Eluent and Soil Improvement After Leaching.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) was selected among various eluents due to its highest removal efficiency for lead (Pb) (43.7%) and zinc (Zn) (57.1%) leaching from Pb-Zn contaminated soil by soil column experiment.

Earthworm activities weaken the immobilizing effect of biochar as amendment for metal polluted soils.

The effect of earthworms on the immobilization of heavy metals by biochar was investigated using 4-week soil pot experiments. Our results showed that both sludge and rice husk biochars applied to Cd, Pb and Zn contaminated soils significantly reduced the bioavailability of those heavy metals in soils, and their concentrations in soil pore water. The Cd and Pb concentrations in pakchoi shoots were decreased by 10.

Using contaminated plants involved in phytoremediation for anaerobic digestion.

This study investigated the anaerobic digestion capability of five plants and the effects of copper (Cu) and S,S'-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS, a chelator widely used in chelant-assisted phytoremediation) on biogas production to determine a feasible disposal method for plants used in remediation. The results showed that in addition to Phytolacca americana L., plants such as Zea mays L.
