Short rotation coppice (SRC) of willow and poplar might be a promising phytoremediation
option since it uses fast growing, high biomass producing tree species with often a sufficient …

The aim of this study was to assess the spatial distribution of arsenic and heavy metals (Cd,
Cr, Cu Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn) in a riparian area influenced by periodical flooding along a …

Maize (Zea mays) has low Cd accumulation in grains and a high biomass compared to other
crops. The capacities for Cd accumulation in different maize cultivars are, however, not fully …

Soil contamination by heavy metals is among the most serious danger for the environment,
and new methods for its containment and removal are claimed, in particular for agricultural …

This study reports a comparative account of metal accumulation in the trees, grasses, and
flowering plants from agricultural fields contaminated with tannery wastewater. Soil physico …

Short rotation coppice (SRC) systems can play a role as feedstock for bioenergy supply
contributing to EU energy and climate policy targets. A scenario depicting intensive arable …

The present study investigates the effect of different sample preparation methods on the
pyrolysis behaviour of metal-added biomass; Willow samples were compared in the …

Environmental pollution by heavy metals and metalloids has become a severe problem
worldwide, and soils became increasingly contaminated, posing a threat to ecosystems and …

Large areas of land contaminated with cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) are currently
in agricultural production in the Campine region in Belgium. Cadmium contents in food and …

Willows (Salix spp.) are promising extractors of cadmium (Cd), with fast growth, high
biomass production, and high Cd accumulation capacity. However, the molecular …
