Phytoremediation as an Effective Remedy for Removing Trace Elements from Ecosystems

Conventional methods of soil remediation are often inapplicable, so it is necessary to search intensively for innovative and environment-friendly techniques for cleaning up ecosystems, such as phytoremediation. Basic research methods, their strengths and weaknesses, and the effects of microorganisms on metallophytes and plant endophytes resistant to trace elements (TEs) were summarised and described in this manuscript. Prospectively, bio-combined phytoremediation with microorganisms appears to be an ideal, economically viable and environmentally sound solution. The novelty of the work is the description of the potential of “green roofs” to contribute to the capture and accumulation of many metal-bearing and suspended dust and other toxic compounds resulting from anthropopressure. Attention was drawn to the great potential of using phytoremediation on less contaminated soils located along traffic routes and urban parks and ...

Soil Microbial Community and Enzymatic Activity of Grasslands under Different Use Practices: A Review

soil epipedons. The use of grasslands (by mowing, grazing, and mowing and grazing) affects the
dominance of bacteria in abundance relative to fungal populations. This was particularly noticeable
when manual mowing was applied. In general, the highest number of microorganisms occurred
during spring and summer, which should be associated with the intensity of growth of root systems
of grass vegetation. It was noted that the grazing system caused an increase in the enzymatic activity
of urease and slightly less dehydrogenases and acid and alkaline phosphatase. Therefore, microbial
abundance and enzymatic activity are considered as indicator parameters to evaluate the biological
soil environment. They are highly probable estimates of soil fertility and ecosystem biodiversity

Interplay between Selected Chemical and Biochemical Soil Properties in the Humus Horizons of Grassland Soils with Low Water Table Depth

Sustainability

The global area of grassland decreased during the 20th century, mainly due to conversion to arable land, improper management, and abandonment. Due to ongoing climate change, maintenance of an adequate level of soil organic matter is of primary importance, not only to maintain the productive function of the soils, but also to ensure their role as carbon stores. The main aim of this study was to assess the linkages between selected chemical and biochemical soil properties in alluvial grassland soils, characterized by a low water table. The area under study was located in the Koło Basin, central Poland. Soil parameters, such as total organic carbon, total nitrogen, pH, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium contents, as well as enzymatic activity and soil microbial structure were studied. Positive correlations were observed between total organic carbon content and the following enzymatic...
