Restoration aims to return ecosystem services, including the human health benefits of
exposure to green space. The loss of such exposure with urbanization and industrialization …

Autochthonous bioaugmentation, by exploiting the indigenous microorganisms of the
contaminated environment to be treated, can represent a successful bioremediation …

The contamination with organic and inorganic pollutants changes significantly soil microbial
community structure. These shifts indicate anthropogenic pressure and help to discover new …

Restoration of ecological functions by reclamation of post-mining areas stimulates soil-
formation processes and initiates biological activity on the surfaces of disposal sites. The …

To enrich the understanding of the complex environmental system of soil and
microorganisms in gold tailings, we studied the effects of environmental factors on the …

We present a biological profile of 16 Aspergillus niger environmental isolates from different
types of soils and solid substrates across a pH range, from an ultra-acidic (< 3.5) to a very …

Four new Ascomycete fungi capable of degrading diesel oil were isolated from sediments of
a river estuary mainly contaminated by shipyard fuels or diesel oil. The isolates were …

The overwhelming production of waste represents a complex environmental challenge for
mining companies worldwide. Efforts are currently being made to develop methods for …

Technosols represent the group of soils whose properties and functions were defined by
human action, formed from technogenic diagnostic materials. In this study, we use …

Technosols occur wherever human activity led to the construction of artificial soils. Attention
has been given to the use of these soils as a strategy for mine reclamation. Nevertheless …
