This paper reviews the various factors, coefficients and indexes developed to evaluate
terrestrial plant performance in respect to phytoremediation. A brief list of indexes includes …

Mine tailings represent a serious source of soil pollution with public health implications. The
objectives of this study were:(1) to assess the level of toxic and heavy metal mobilization …

Previous studies on phytoremediation reported contradictory or inconsistent results on the
Cd, Pb, and Zn accumulation in and among plant parts of willow (Salix) species. We …

Soil and plant samples were collected from Tongliao, China, during the maize growth cycle
between May and October 2010. Heavy metals, such as Cr, Pb, Ni, and Zn, were analyzed …

The phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd) and pyrene (PYR) in agricultural soil with willow was
investigated by carrying out a pot-culture experiment in a greenhouse. The soil was …

Mine soils often contain metal (loid) s that may lead to serious environmental problems.
Phytoremediation, consisting in covering the soil with specific plants with the possible …

Phytomanagement techniques using native species allow the recovery of contaminated soils
at low cost and circumvent the ecological risks associated with the use of non-native …

In order to investigate the toxicity-resistance of eighteen Chinese native plants in lead (Pb)-
zinc (Zn) mine tailings, we categorized their resistance to Pb and Zn, and tested their …

Tailings usually provide an unfavorable substrate for plant growth because of their multi-
stress environment. Plants growing on naturally metal-enriched soils are of particular …

Mining and smelting have been releasing huge amount of toxic substances into the
environment. In the present study, agricultural soil and different agricultural products (potato …
