Drought in heavy metal polluted arid and semiarid regions severely inhibits the plant growth phytoremediation potential by affecting photosynthesis, antioxidant defense mechanism, other biochemical processes. In present study, we explored role of growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) on Zea mays efficiency Chromium (Cr) contaminated soils under drought stress assessing tolerance, photosynthetic gas exchange activities, chlorophyll fluorescence, Cr accumulation. Two efficient resistant PGPB with...
A Phytoremediation experimental set up was established by spiking the soil with varying concentrations of mercury (Hg) (Treatment: T1:10; T2:50; T3:100; T4:500 and T5:1,000 mg Hg/kg soil). Hg removal ability Indian mustard plant determined after 30, 60 90 days exposure. accumulation trend in second third month exposure root > leaf stem, while for 1st it stem leaf. The highest percentage (81%) glutathione (14 mg/kg) observed plants T4 T5 treatment, respectively at indicating a high level...
Anthropogenic land use change (LUC) affects soil quality and the global carbon (C) pool. Such LUC is a potential threat for forest ecosystems because it can alter biome increases emission of greenhouse gasses (GHGs). Here, we investigated changes in CO2 following afforestation reclaimed coal mine agriculture created tropical dry deciduous Jharkhand, India. Soil samples were collected from afforested mined (AMS), soils (AGS), natural (NFS) analyzed physicochemical biological properties....
This paper reviews research on phytoremediation (2002–2021), particularly for the estimation of plant efficiency and soil pollution indices, examining extraction metals from plants growing under both artificial (spiked with specific metal) natural conditions. From analysis >200 published experimental results, it was found that contamination factor geo-accumulation index as well translocation bioconcentration factors are most important metrices, respectively, which gaining importance to...
The data on the accumulation of metals and content low molecular weight antioxidants in leaves Typha latifolia L. naturally growing vicinity Karabash copper smelter (Russia, Chelyabinsk region) are presented. It has been shown that prolonged technogenic exposure caused development chronic oxidative stress which was accompanied by activation synthesis free proline, phenolic compounds thiol-containing T. latifolia. Altogether, showed high adaptive potential to grow under extreme pollution.
The abandoned chromite-asbestos mines are located in the Roro hills, West Singhbhum, Jharkhand, India, where mining operation ceased 1983, and since then these causing environmental pollution. present study was planned to phytoremediate metalloid metal contaminated mine waste by using two aromatic grasses, Cymbopogon citratus Chrysopogon zizanioides applying different proportions of amendments (chicken manure, farmyard manure garden soil). Mine has neutral pH, low electrical conductivity...
A field study was carried out (IB-valley areas, Mahanadi Coalfields Limited) to assess the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in tree species, changes physicochemical and nutritional properties mine soils, bioavailability metals. Only limited amount topsoil added plantation pits ratio 1:4 (topsoil: weathered spoils), which significantly improved pH fertility. Out six analysed metals, highest concentration found for Fe followed by Mn > Zn Cu Cd Ni soils. Metal accumulation bioconcentration...
Aquatic macrophytes, viz. Sagittaria sagittifolia L., Lemna gibba Elodea canadensis Michx., Batrachium trichophyllum (Chaix.) Bosch., Ceratophyllum demersum L. and Potamogeton sp. (P. perfoliatus P. alpinus Balb., crispus berchtoldii Fieber, friesii Rupr., pectinatus L.) were collected from 11 sites for determining their metal accumulation thiols content. Cu2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Fe3+ exceeded maximum permissible concentrations in chosen sites. Significant transfer of metals water to leaves...
