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 …

From a number of wild plant species growing on soils highly contaminated by heavy metals
in Eastern Spain, Nicotiana glauca R. Graham (shrub tobacco) was selected for …

Plant cells contain two major pools of K+, one in the vacuole and one in the cytosol. The
behavior of K+ concentrations in these pools is fundamental to understanding the way this …

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 levels …

Ion concentrations in the roots of two barley (Hordeum vulgare) varieties that differed in NaCl
tolerance were compared after exposure to NaCl. Triple-barreled H + -, K + -, and Na + -…

The effects of a compost (produced from by-products of the olive oil industry) and a poultry

Sedimentation has long been recognised as the principal process in the removal of heavy
metals from stormwater in natural or constructed wetlands. However, there are a range of …

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. …

The halophytic shrub Atriplex halimus L. was used in a field phytoremediation experiment in
a semi-arid area highly contaminated by trace elements (As, Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn) within …
