Nature-based, low technology wastewater treatment systems can benefit small and remote communities. Adding a constructed floating wetland (CFW) to waste stabilization ponds enhance efficacy at cost, depending on appropriate macrophytes. In cold climates, harsh growing conditions may limit CFW success, requiring research under-ambient field conditions. Seven native macrophytes were assessed for ...

An anatomical study of adventitious roots three Salix clones, ?B-44?, ?SV068? and ?SM4041?, treated with 3 6 mg Cd kg-1 dry weight in soil was performed a greenhouse experiment. The aim to analyze the characteristics response pollution by cadmium assess potential application hydraulic selection most suitable clones for phytostabilization pollutants soils. Anatomical parameters measured this inc...

Abstract Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi that colonize the roots of plants growing on lands contaminated by heavy metals may influence phytostabilization process reducing translocation to aboveground parts plant. This study aimed evaluate effects soil amendments (lime and lignite) concentration bioavailable form (CaCl 2 extraction) in colonization Lolium perenne when cultivated soil. During experi...

The field of soil biological remediation was initially focused on the use microorganisms. For organic contaminants, biostimulation and bioaugmentation were strategies choice. heavy metals, bioremediation centered feasibility using microorganisms to reduce metal toxicity. Partly due impossibility degrade phytoremediation emerged proposing plants extract them (phytoextraction) or their bioavailab...
