The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination, bacterial community, and PAH-degrading bacteria were monitored in aged PAH-contaminated soil (Neuves-Maisons [NM] soil; with a mean of 1,915 mg 16 PAHs.kg(-1) dry weight) the same previously treated by thermal desorption (TD 106 weight). This study was conducted situ for 2 years using experimental plots two soils. NM colonized spontaneous vegetation (NM-SV), planted Medicago sativa (NM-Ms), or left as bare (NM-BS), TD (TD-Ms)....
Mine tailing deposits pose a global problem, as they may contain metal contaminants in various geochemical forms and are likely to be leached from the surface into underlying groundwater, which can result health and/or environmental risks. Unfortunately, little is currently known regarding water flow mass balance related leaching vadose zone these factors still difficult measure at field scale. A pilot-scale experiment was run 1 m3 instrumented column for 6 months address this issue. This 70...
PFAS compounds have emerged as a major concern, due to their effects on human health, widespread occurrence, complex physico-chemical behaviour, very low biodegradability and lack of removal/degradation technologies that could be effective for the diverse members this huge family molecules. Unlike other organic released in environment by anthropogenic activities, such petroleum hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls or pesticides, concentration is at parts-per-billion (ppb)...
This study establishes a new real-time PCR assay (using SYBR Green™ detection) for the identification and direct quantification of specific individual Burkholderia xenovorans strain LB400 from DNA samples soil sediment. Specific primers were designed to amplify 190-bp fragment 16S–23S rRNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS) LB400. The specificity was evaluated using 21 strains. detection limit analysed on inoculated with 6 copies (105 CFU g−1 dry sample). ITS developed in this work rapid...
The aims of this study were to investigate (i) the influence aging grassland in recovery soil state by comparison permanent grassland, two restored grasslands, temporary and a continuous crop same pedoclimatic conditions, (ii) extent persistence potential changes following grassland/or cropland phase. We hypothesized that level microbial communities enzyme activities could achieve profile close after introduction for few years rotations. Soil biophysicochemical properties studied. Our...
In the context of climate change and biodiversity loss, rehabilitation degraded urban soils is a means limiting artificialization terrestrial ecosystems preventing further degradation soils. Ecological approaches are available to reinitiate soil functions enhance plant development. However, little known about long-term stability rehabilitated in terms when natural or anthropogenic perturbations occur. Based on soils, present study sought evaluate resistance resilience linked carbon cycling...
