Recent Trends in Sustainable Remediation of Pb-Contaminated Shooting Range Soils: Rethinking Waste Management within a Circular Economy
(MDPI, 2021-03-25)
Soil metal contamination in recreational shooting ranges represents a widespread environmental problem. Lead (Pb) is the primary component of traditional ammunition, followed by metalloids such as antimony (Sb) and arsenic ...
Effectiveness And Ecotoxicity Of Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles During Rhizoremediation Of Soil Contaminated With Zn, Cu, Cd And Diesel
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
The remediation of soils simultaneously contaminated with organic and inorganic compounds is still a challenging task. The application of metallic nanoparticles, such as zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI), for soil ...
Zero-valent iron nanoparticles and organic amendment assisted rhizoremediation of mixed contaminated soil using Brassica napus
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Soil is one of our most important natural resources. Regrettably, the expansion of human activities has resulted in the degradation of the soil resource due to contamination with a myriad of organic and inorganic compounds. ...
Remediation of Organically Contaminated Soil Through the Combination of Assisted Phytoremediation and Bioaugmentation
(MDPI, 2019-11)
Here, we aimed to bioremediate organically contaminated soil with Brassica napus and a bacterial consortium. The bioaugmentation consortium consisted of four endophyte strains that showed plant growth-promoting traits ...
Mycorrhizal-assisted phytoremediation and intercropping strategies improved the health of contaminated soil in a peri-urban area
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-02)
[EN] Soils of abandoned and vacant lands in the periphery of cities are frequently subjected
to illegal dumping and can undergo degradation processes such as depletion of
organic matter and nutrients, reduced biodiversity, ...
Gentle remediation options for soil with mixed chromium (VI) and lindane pollution: biostimulation, bioaugmentation, phytoremediation and vermiremediation
(Elsevier, 2020-08)
Gentle Remediation Options (GROs), such as biostimulation, bioaugmentation, phytoremediation and vermiremediation, are cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solutions for soils simultaneously polluted with organic ...
Relationship between vegetation diversity and soil functional diversity in native mixed-oak forests
(Elsevier, 2007-05-22)
Most studies on the interactions between aboveground vegetation and belowground soil diversity have been carried out in microcosms or manipulated field plots. In the current study, we investigated the relationship between ...
