Phytoremediation is acknowledged as a sustainable solution for mitigating heavy metals
contamination in soils yet faces challenges in transitioning from laboratory experiments to …

Earth is home to over 350,000 vascular plant species that differ in their traits in innumerable
ways. A key challenge is to predict how natural or anthropogenically driven changes in the …

Much effort has been made to remediate the degraded mine lands that bring severe impacts
to the natural environments. However, it remains unclear what drives the recovery of …

The drivers and mechanisms underlying succession and the spontaneous formation of plant
communities in mining wasteland remain largely unknown. This study investigated the use …

Although numerous studies focus on the mechanical behaviour and instability of tailings
dam materials, a framework that adequately describes all the processes involved in their …

The ecological restoration of mining areas is very important, and repeated field surveys are
inefficient in large-scale vegetation monitoring. The coal mining industry is currently facing …

Heavy metal pollution is widespread, and has an increasing trend in some countries and
regions. It can be easily accumulated in plants, leading to plant species loss and affecting …

The absence or presence of particular plant species indicates specific level of pollution. It
was hypothesized that the marble waste polluted ecosystem also host specific plant …

The current paper evaluates the phytoremediation ability and physiological responses of
selected resistant plant species to the hazardous levels of elements in the marble waste …

Understanding the mechanisms of ecosystem services trade-offs and synergies is critical for
forest management. Plant functional traits provide an approach to identify the relationships …
