Abstract The determination of the effects cadmium and mercury on growth, biomass productivity phytoremediation potential Miscanthus × giganteus (MxG) grown contaminated soil was main aim this paper. use bioenergy plants as an innovative strategy in phytotechnology gives additional benefits, including mitigation adaptation to climate change, remediation without affecting fertility. An experiment set up a randomized complete block design with treatments varied concentrations Cd (0, 10 100 mg...
In this study, the effect of ammunition on soil quality (physical and chemical indicators) at shooting ranges was investigated four sites in Croatia. The differ type (fluvisols, leptosols terra rossa) climatic conditions (Mediterranean continental). intensity range use (calculated from age lane average number targets used per year) distance (−40 m to +240 m) were examined relation composition quality. High contents Pb Sb 100 position observed fluvisol rossa soils, contamination factors (CFs)...
Heavy metals accumulation in crops and soils poses a significant threat to the human health. A study was carried out 2016 order assess hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) ability accumulate heavy reveal its possibility as phytoaccumulator or phytostabilizer. Two soil types from Croatia were used experimental pots: Gleysoils (alkaline soil) Stagnic Luvisol (acid soil). Majority of varieties accumulated more roots than above-ground biomass. Removal Cd, Ni, Pb, Hg, Co, Mo As higher acid soil. Potential...
Nonsustainable agricultural practices often lead to soil carbon loss and increased dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. A research study was conducted on arable fields in central lowland Croatia measure respiration, its seasonal variability, response practices. Soil C-CO2 were measured with situ static chamber method during corn (Zea mays L.) winter wheat (Triticum aestivum growing seasons (2012 2013, n = 288) a field experiment six different tillage treatments. During season,...
The study was conducted on 18 locations and 11 dominant soil types in the Republic of Croatia including their evolution-genetic horizons. In total, 51 samples were examined. Analysis done by saturating patterns using barium chloride solution three replications. Descriptive statistics analyzed data conducted. Basic statistical parameters calculated, functional dependence between base saturation (V%) pH observed. correlation coefficient (r) for all examined soils r=0.79 (n=51; very strong...
The multiyear cultivation of Miscanthus × giganteus Greef et Deu (M.×giganteus) at the soils polluted by metal(loid)s were researched. biomass parameters and concentrations elements: Ti, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Sr, Mo determined in plant's organs harvest. same monitored leaves throughout three vegetation seasons. principal component analysis general linear model approaches applied for statistical evaluation followed Box-Cox transformation. difference distribution elements plant, content soil,...
Soil pH, hydrolytic acidity (HA), organic matter (OM) and plant available phosphorus (AP) are factors controlling the environmental-friendly soil management in agroecosystems. These parameters highly variable space. The objective of this work is to study spatial variability HA, OM AP using several interpolation methods Eastern Croatia. A total 1004 (0–30 cm) samples were collected, univariate multivariate performances tested. results showed that soils area had high HA AP, while pH low....
Accumulated copper (Cu) in agricultural soils is non-biodegradable and persists the environment, which imposes need for its regular monitoring by selective, rapid, simple, low-cost analytical techniques. The performance of portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (pXRF) has significantly improved last ten years, they are increasingly applied environmental, agronomic, soil science purposes. This study aims to compare total Cu content determined samples using three methods (inductively...
Soil losses by water erosion were studied under six different tillage treatments, which differ in depth and direction of planting during a twenty-year period (1995-2014) on Stagnosols central lowland Croatia. Studied treatments were: control plot (bare fallow-BF), ploughing up down the slope to 30 cm (PUDS), no-tillage (NT), across (PAS), very deep 50 (VDPAS), subsoiling + (SSPAS). The paper presents following chemical parameters: soil pH, organic matter (OM), plant available phosphorus...
Pipeline spills and pollution of the environment by crude oil pose a threat to natural resources, especially soil water. One such incident occurred on 25 September 2018 in area Budrovac (Croatia; 46°00′14.6″ N 17°04′16.8″ E) agricultural land as pipeline spill. Bioremediation contaminated was carried out with organic pollutants using an environmentally safe absorbent Spill-Sorb (Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss) mineral fertilizer—nitrogen. The experiment conducted greenhouse Faculty Agriculture,...
Given that global amounts of waste are growing rapidly, it is extremely important to determine what amount will be generated in the near future. Accurate forecasting also for planning and designing a sustainable municipal solid (MSW) management system. For reason, there need build model predict MSW Based on previous research, artificial neural networks (ANN) show better results predicting generation compared other mathematical models. In this an ANN using iterative algorithm...
The agricultural sector is a source of greenhouse gas emissions that directly affect the global problem climate change and contribute approximately 11% in total world Croatia too.Irregular irresponsible practices, such as excessive tillage improper fertilization often lead to soil carbon loss increased dioxide atmosphere.This field study provides results how practices from soil, sequestration quality during cultivation winter wheat.The experiment was conducted temperate continental on...
Abstract The assessment of environmental radioactivity much relies on radionuclide content in soil. This stems from the significant contribution soil to both external and internal exposure ionising radiation via direct emission gamma soil-to-plant transfer, respectively. motivated us carry out a systematic research Croatia obtain relevant data that can be used as basis for understanding related effects geomorphological, biogeographical, climatological properties environment. We collected...
Miscanthus x giganteus is an energy crop relatively recently introduced into Croatia, that suitable for cultivation on marginal or abandoned agriculturl land. Energy crops can contribute to climate change mitigation both by carbon sequestration soil/plant pool and substitution of fossil fuels. Therefore, the aim this paper evaluate impact environment determination soil soil-plant system's budget, as well estimate potential stand agricultural land at national level. After 3 years cultivation,...
Agricultural ecosystems can play a significant role in greenhouse gas emissions, specifically, carbon dioxide. Tillage management increase atmospheric CO2concentrations and contribute to global warming but it is uncertain which extent tillage enhances the transfer of soil CO2 atmosphere. Our objectives were (1) determine short-term, tillage-induced emissions; (2) effect different systems time after operation on CO2emissions microclimate (3) examine relations between short-term emissions...
