In the present work, operational conditions for improving degradation rates of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs) in contaminated soil from a machinery park were optimized at microcosms scale along 90-days incubation period. this study, bioremediation strategies and an organic amendment have been tested to verify remediation with different hydrocarbons, mineral oils, heavy metals. Specifically, designed biostimulation bioaugmentation compared without adding vermicompost. The polluted...
Abstract The biodegradation of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in soil is very challenging due to the complex recalcitrant nature hydrocarbon, hydrophobicity, indigenous microbial adaptation and competition, harsh environmental conditions. This work further confirmed that limited natural attenuation hydrocarbons (TPHs) (15% removal) necessitates efficient bioremediation strategies. Hence, a scaling-up experiment for testing optimizing use biopiles TPH polluted soils was conducted with...
Persistent, aged hydrocarbons in soil hinder remediation, posing a significant environmental threat. While bioremediation offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach, its efficacy for complex contaminants relies on enhancing pollutant bioavailability. This study explores the potential of immobilized bacterial consortia combined with biochar rhamnolipids to accelerate total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH)-contaminated soil. Previous research indicates that biosurfactants can...
Abstract Seventy five percent of the world's food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence, there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available, we limited our capacity to understand variation benefits yield, as well anticipate changes service, develop predictions, and inform management actions. Here, present CropPol, a dynamic, open, database It contains measurements...
Better understanding of macrophyte tolerance under long exposure times in real environmental matrices is crucial for phytoremediation and phytoattenuation strategies aquatic systems. The metal(loid) attenuation ability 10 emergent species (Carex riparia, Cyperus longus, rotundus, Iris pseudacorus, Juncus effusus, Lythrum salicaria, Menta aquatica, Phragmites australis, Scirpus holoschoenus, Typha angustifolia) was investigated using groundwater from an industrial site, over a 90-day period....
Olive mill wastes continue to be a management challenge due the large volumes produced, particularly their toxicity and impacts on environment. Thermal conversion through pyrolysis or hydrothermal carbonization techniques can detoxify while conserving nutrient contents. In this work, we produced up-to-date data olive waste flows in Spain, Tunisia, Greece characterized representative samples laboratory. Assays of thermal wastewaters solid were also performed understand biochar yields final...
Biofertilizers containing living organisms are attractive because of their potential positive impact on plant growth and reduced environmental effect compared to mineral fertilizers. Many studies have reported the growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) cyanobacteria, applied singly or in combination. In present study, combined PGPR cyanobacteria Triticum aestivum L. was examined a hydroponic system. Calothrix sp. Anabaena cylindrica were used as cyanobacterial strains, Chryseobacterium...
Abstract Intensification of agricultural landscapes to fulfil increased global food demands has dramatically impacted biodiversity and ecosystem services. Several pollinator groups, which are vital for the maintenance pollinator‐dependent crops, have been severely affected by this intensification process. Management tools, such as implementation agri‐environmental schemes, widely proposed improve pollinator's communities pollination services, although effectiveness wildflower strips in...
It is widely acknowledged that, under the frame of sustainable farming, using minimum water resources a relevant requirement. In order to do precision irrigation aims at identifying needs plantations and irrigate accordingly. Artificial intelligence promising solution in this field as intelligent models are able learn soil moisture dynamics soil-plant-atmosphere system then generating appropriate scheduling. This complex task phenology plants its demand vary with properties weather...
Abstract Different factors (agitation time, type of buffer, enzyme solution/soil ratio, solution concentration) affecting alkaline phosphatase immobilisation by a rendzina soil were studied. Appreciable quantities (>48%) commercial active immobilised the colloidal particles in process well adjusted to Langmuir isotherm ( r = 0·999 at P <0·001), giving an index bonding energy 0·115 ml h μmol p‐nitrophenol −1 and enzymic sorption maximum 79·9 μmolp‐nitrophenol g . Some properties...
There are a substantial number of studies on the biofertilization effects cyanobacteria in rice paddy fields, mainly attributed to biological fixation N2, but not much attention has been given their fertilizing capacity aerobic soils. Few have used solid media (i.e. soil) when testing plant-growth-promoting microalgae plants, and particularly wheat. The purpose this study was test biofertilizing effect filamentous cyanobacterium, previously isolated from an agricultural soil, order evaluate...
Used mainly for sucrose production, sugar beet is one of the most important crops in Castilla y León (Spain). Several studies have demonstrated benefits microorganisms different crop management programs, among which Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). This research aims to assess beneficial effects two PGPRs strains ( Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 and chlororaphis CECT 462) on Beta vulgaris ) production. Three treatments: a co-inoculation assay untreated seeds without any chemical...
