Phytoremediation is a green technology; however, very few species of arid environments have been identified as hyperaccumulators and fast growers. Therefore, greenhouse experiment was performed to evidence the phytoaccumulation potential Conocarpus erectus, Syzygium cumini, Populus deltoides Morus alba at sapling stage. Six-month-old plant saplings were subjected control (CK; 0 µM) cadmium trea...

Conocarpus erectus L. is a fast growing tree, drought resistant and it is widely planted throughout Saudi Arabia around parking lots and along the streets. It constitutes a renewable resource that could be used as a source of raw materials required for several uses. However, no data were available about its wood quality. This study was established to investigate the effect of plant spacing on s...

Mangroves are ecosystems characteristic of intertidal zones in tropical and subtropical regions. Rhizophora racemosa, Avicennia germinans Conocarpus erectus mangrove species found Côte d'Ivoire. These mangroves could disappear without being fully studied due to the strong anthropic pressure. This study therefore proposes establish a detailed cartography reported d'Ivoire model their potential d...

Utilization of plant allelopathic potential to control weed infestations provides an effective, cost-efficient, labor-free, and environmentally acceptable alternative traditional chemical mechanical methods. Conocarpus erectus, known as buttonwood, belongs the Combretaceae family with high contents phytochemicals antioxidant activity. There have been no studies on C. erectus. The present study ...

Heavy metals are notoriously toxic pollutants which can potentially harm living beings and serious health hazards. The aim of the present study was to assess levels cadmium (Cd) nickel (Ni) throughout year in urban areas densely populated industrial city Faisalabad eight commonly raised ornamental tree species with phytoremediation potential. High Cd Ni were recorded all areas, spatio-temporal ...
