Fertilization is a key factor for sustaining productivity in agroecosystems. A long-term experiment cambisol following periodical application of several types fertilization has been running at the experimental site since 1954. In this study, we determined impact applied inorganic and/or organic fertilizers on activity soil enzymes and structure microorganisms depths 0–30 cm 30–60 cm. Single-factor comparison showed that use fertilizer had an insignificant effect activities (at cm) also...
Use of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) for cultivation the biofuel crop Miscanthus × giganteus (Mxg) in post-military and post-mining sites is a promising approach bioremediation soils contaminated by metals. In present study, PGPB were isolated from soil screened tolerance against abiotic stresses caused salinity, pH, temperature, lead (Pb). Selected strains further assessed attributes. The isolate showing most potential, Bacillus altitudinis KP-14, was tested enhancement Mxg growth...
The second generation energy crop Miscanthus x giganteus (Mxg) was cultivated in pots with mixtures of clean and petroleum industry contaminated soil affected by petroleum, Pb, Zn contamination high salinity. survival rate reached 100%, nevertheless the biomass parameters were negatively even lowest proportion soil. In contamination, where plant grew still quite successfully, C10-C40 degradation significantly enhanced compared to unplanted control 58 ± 14%. contribution aliphatics correlated...

Abstract Lebanon is one of the richest countries in water resources Middle East. Despite its small geographical area, it faces escalating environmental challenges, including air pollution, soil degradation, and poor waste management, that compromise natural resources, biodiversity, public health. This review compiles analyzes scientific literature official reports on Lebanese river pollution from 1994 to 2024. It presents status quality, identifies major sources types, untreated sewage,...
Miscanthus x giganteus (Mxg) is a promising second-generation biofuel crop with high production of energetic biomass. Our aim was to determine the level plant stress Mxg grown in poor quality soils using non-invasive physiological parameters and test whether could be reduced by application growth regulators (PGRs). Plant fitness quantified measuring leaf fluorescence 24 indexes select most suitable indicators for quantification this type abiotic stress. Simultaneously, visible signs were...
The second-generation energy crop Miscanthus x giganteus (M. xgiganteus) is a perspective plant for phytoremediation of contaminated lands and the production biomass. excellent quality biomass can be ensured by adding soil amendments or inoculation growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). main goal current study was to research influence PGPB Bacillus altitudinis strain KP-14 isolated from post-mining aged in Všebořice dump, Ústí nad Labem parameters M. xgiganteus. experiment done greenhouse...
Abstract Military activities can contaminate productive land with potentially toxic substances. The most common trace metal contaminant on military bases is lead (Pb). A field experiment was begun in 2016 at Fort Riley, KS, an area total soil Pb concentrations ranging from 900 to 1,500 mg kg –1 and near‐neutral pH. main objectives were test the potential of Miscanthus sp. for phytostabilization site evaluate effects amendments growth, soil–plant transfer, bioaccessibility Pb, health....
The phytoremediation of industrial crops is becoming popular for the revitalization land contaminated by trace elements (TEs). This approach combines biomass production with improvement soil health. To implement and derive sufficient dry biomass, crop must be adequately supported agricultural practices, including application bioinoculants. current study aims to test influence several plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), isolated from TEs-contaminated soil—i.e., Stenotrophomonas...
