Abandoned mine lands (AMLs), which are considered some of the most dangerous anthropogenic activities in world, a source hazards relating to potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Traditional reclamation techniques, expensive, time-consuming and not well accepted by general public, cannot be used on large scale. However, plant-based techniques have gained acceptance as an environmentally friendly alternative over last 20 years. Plants can AMLs for PTE phytoextraction, phytostabilization,...

Common practices such as the use of herbicides, petrochemical plastics and excessive tillage are widely used for weed control in both horticultural fruit crops. The these unfriendly environmentally techniques has led researchers around world to focus their searches on more sustainable alternatives based a circular economy model. These eco-friendly could also be extended other systems crops, which would case seedbeds or nursery plants. In this framework, biopolymers papers can have proper...

Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies aim to improve water usage without reducing yield. Generally, strategy effectiveness is measured as fruit yield, with little consideration of quality. As and increased plant cell sclerification often associated, this study explores the effect RDI on pear stone cells, a crucial factor affecting flesh texture. The presence, distribution development cells under full are compared using Pyrus communis L. cv. Barlett trees, employing recently developed...

Biscutella auriculata L. is a plant that belongs to the Brassicaceae family and it has been found growing in metal-contaminated area of San Quintin mine (Ciudad Real, Spain). The purpose this work was evaluate mechanisms allow tolerate high concentrations copper. Seedlings were grown semi-hydroponic system for 15 days under 125 μM Cu (NO3 )2 . Exposure copper resulted growth inhibition reduction photosynthetic parameters. Copper mainly accumulated vascular tissue vacuoles roots only minor...

Water scarcity presents an increasingly urgent challenge with global implications for the production of irrigated vegetables. Among these crops, tomatoes stand out as one most widely cultivated. Given their vulnerability to water stress, it is crucial ensure efficient and sustainable management tomato irrigation. This study aims compare physiological biochemical parameters among three local commercial resilient varieties in response stress rehydration. We subjected plants either two brief...

Antimony (Sb) is a semimetallic element, with important applications in modern industry. Europe as whole, and Spain, Portugal France have been suppliers of this element. However, nowadays European production almost null, except by-product lead mining, always containing variables amounts Sb. Due to these considerations, Sb considered critical resource for Europe.The ERA-MIN2 funded project AUREOLE (tArgeting eU cRitical mEtals (Sb, W) predictibility Sb-As-Hg envirOnmentaL issue) involves the...

During the last decades, investigation is being focused for environmental reasons on search of alternatives to herbicides and plastics petrochemical origin control weeds, both in herbaceous woody crops especially organic farming. With this purpose, more environmentally-friendly materials are used worldwide, including biopolymers papers, mainly annual due their shorter useful live. For reason, various research groups investigating manufacturing hydromulches different composition...

Abstract: The Remance gold mine, in Veraguas, Panama, has been widely affected by mining activity, whose last exploitation period was between 1989 and 1999, the company Minera S.A. Previous studies have reported that stream sediments are severely polluted; terrace represented a serious ecological risk high presence of concentrations potentially toxic elements (PTEs. In addition, study also showed soil health, evaluated through DHA (dehydrogenase activity) factor, is more than soils....

The enormous diversity of variables that come together in the functioning ecosystems makes it very difficult to establish reliable patterns functionality, understood as ability progress a balanced way with their own resources. natural colonization spaces degraded by mining offers us opportunity study construction an ecosystem from its beginnings. scarcity resources and geochemical conditions occur these carry out screening species and, consequently, communities soils are much simpler. In...

Water scarcity presents an increasingly urgent challenge with global implications for the production of irrigated vegetables. Among these crops, tomatoes stand out as one most widely cultivated. Given their vulnerability to water stress, it is crucial ensure efficient and sustainable management tomato irrigation. This study aims explore varying capacities drought avoidance, acclimation, tolerance among three local commercial resilient varieties in response stress re-watering. We subjected...
