The heavy metal bioavailable fraction of a soil is a core parameter to verify the potential risks
of contaminant exposure to organisms or plants. The purpose of the present work is to …

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of soil amendments (organic and inorganic)
on phytoavailability and leaching of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) during enhanced …

A column experiment with horizontal permeable barriers was conducted to investigate
phytoextraction of heavy metals by Lolium perenne L. from municipal solid waste compost …

Phytoextraction is one of the most promising technologies for the remediation of metal
contaminated soils. Changes in soil metal availability during phytoremediation have direct …

Previous studies have shown that phytoremediation usually requires soil amendments, such
as chelates, to mobilize low bioavailability heavy metals for better plant absorption and …

Aims Phytoextration of metal polluted soils using hyperaccumulators is a promising
technology but requires long term successive cropping. This study investigated the …

Since the emergence of phytoremediation, much research has focused on its development
for (i) the removal of metals from soil and/or (ii) the reduction of metal bioavailability, mobility …

Contamination with heavy metals continues to pose a serious challenge for the remediation
of polluted soil, as they are not degradable and must be physically removed. At present …

The potential of nine different species to grow in the presence of metals (As, Cd, Cu, Pb and
Zn) and to accumulate them in the shoots was assessed for each metal separately by …

Research is needed to improve efficiency of phytoextraction of heavy metals from
contaminated soils. A pot experiment was carried out to study the effects of plant growth …
