Ultramafic outcrops are widespread in Albania and host several Ni hyperaccumulators (eg,
Alyssum murale Waldst. & Kit.). A field experiment was conducted in Pojske (Eastern …

Background Human activities considerably contribute to polluting potentially toxic element
(PTEs) levels in soils, especially agricultural soils. The consistent introduction of PTEs in the …

Considering that even contaminated soils are a potential resource for agricultural
production, it is essential to develop a set of cropping systems to allow a safe and …

Elevated contents of mercury (Hg) and nickel (Ni) in soils and foodstuffs can threaten human
health. As contents of these metals in soil, water and food vary from place to place, the …

Ultramafic vertisols cover large areas in Albania and offer opportunities for phytomining. We
undertook a field experiment with native Alyssum murale on two representative Vertisols at a …

The transformation of trace metals (TMs) in natural environmental systems has created
significant concerns in recent decades. Ultramafic environments lead to potential risks to the …

We have investigated the accumulation of nickel in a hyperaccumulating plant from the
Brassicacae family Leptoplax emarginata (Boiss.) OE Schulz. Two supplementary …

The dissolved nickel (Ni) isotopic composition of rivers and oceans presents an apparent
paradox. Even though rivers represent a major source of Ni in the oceans, seawater is more …

With the boom in industrialization, there is an increase in the level of heavy metals in the soil
which drastically affect the growth and development of plants. Nickel is an essential …
