Treatment of log yard runoff is required to avoid contamination of receiving watercourses. The research aim was to assess if infiltration of log yard runoff through planted soil systems is successful and if different plant species affect the treatment performance at a field-scale experimental site in Sweden (2005 to 2007). Contaminated runoff from the log yard of a sawmill was infiltrated throu...

Native grasses are increasingly popular and valuable tools for revegetation, erosion control, and wildlife habitat improvement. Many have unique features and benefits that make them advantageous over certain exotic and introduced grasses. In the field of ecological restoration, they are a critical and required component of the target plant community, ecosystem, or natural habitat. A number of n...

A combined proteomic and isotope tracer approach was used to investigate the impact of supplying N as glycine to roots of Lolium perenne. Initially, ammonium nitrate was supplied to all plants, after which half received glycine as their sole N source, while the remainder continued to receive ammonium nitrate. Plants supplied with glycine acquired less N than those receiving the mineral source, ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a special microorganism can connect soil and a plant directly, plays an important role in environmental remediation [1]. When the plant is in the heavy metal adversity, mycorrhizal association can enhance the resistance to the metals of plants [2]. Chen et al. [3], reported Cu uptake by four kind of mycorrhizal plants including two native plant species, Coreo...

In the present study exudate flavonoids from P. veris leaves were identified and their potential as inhibitors on L. perrene seed germination was evaluated. Leaves of collected natural population. Leaf obtained by dipping whole into acetone for 2--3 min. Chemical composition analysed GC/MS. The test done in Petri dishes. Flavonoid aglycones found main components (over 50% all compounds). Unsubs...
