Abstract Knowledge of the behavior of plant species associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) and the ability of such plants to grow on metal-contaminated soils is important to …

The impact of lead (Pb) pollution on native communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(AMF) was assessed in soil samples from the surroundings of an abandoned Pb smelting …

Native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) generally provide more effective assistance for
phytoremediation to remove heavy metal (HM) from polluted soils than non-native AMF …

Soil contamination by heavy metals is a serious problem to humans due to its high level of
toxicity. The heavy metal lead (Pb) is commonly used in industries and if the disposal of …

Heavy metal contamination caused either by natural processes or by human activities is one
of the most serious environmental problems. Physicochemical methods such as soil …

To select suitable tree species associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for
phytoremediation of heavy metal (HM) contaminated area, we measured the AMF status and …

In recent decades, contamination of soil with toxic metals has become a severe
environmental problem. Although phytoremediation has emerged as a promising …

Aims Pioneer tree species such as Betula pendula and Pinus sylvestris encroach soils
contaminated with heavy metals (HMs). This is facilitated by ectomycorrhizal fungi colonizing …

Bioremediation is the use of organisms for the treatment of soil pollution. Root colonizing
symbiotic microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are mainly involved …

A field experiment was conducted during 15 months to study the effects of four arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the growth of Ricinus communis accession SF7. Plants were …
