The last few decades have seen the rise of Gentle soil Remediation Options (GRO), which
notably include in situ contaminant stabilization (“inactivation”) and plant-based (generally …

Considerable evidence is available showing that the total metal concentration in a soil is not
a good predictor of its availability (Van Gestel 1997; Van Straalen and Denneman 1989) …

Chenopodium album L. was found to be one of the initial plant species colonising a heavy
metal-contaminated site, polluted by pyritic (sulphide-rich) waste from the Aznalcóllar mine …

Two heavy metal contaminated calcareous soils from the Mediterranean region of Spain
were studied. One soil, from the province of Murcia, was characterised by very high total …

Soil contamination by metals has become a widespread serious problem in many parts of
the world. Two tailing ponds (Lirio and Gorguel) from an abandoned Pb–Zn mine for a future …

Two crops of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. were grown in a field experiment, at the site
affected by the toxic spillage of acidic, metal-rich waste in Aznalcóllar (Seville, Spain), to …

Degradation of organic matter (OM) from organic amendments used in the remediation of
metal contaminated soils leads to changes in soil chemical properties shortly after their …

Substantial diel (24‐hour) cycles in dissolved (0.1‐μm filtration) metal concentrations were
observed during low flow for 18 sampling episodes at 14 sites on 12 neutral and alkaline …

This study addresses the spatial and temporal variability of soil properties before and after
the application of organic and inorganic amendments in a trace-element-polluted soil using …

A field experiment, lasting 14 months, was carried out in order to assess the effect of organic
amendment and lime addition on the bioavailability of heavy metals in contaminated soils …
