CLONAL VARIATION IN SURVIVAL AND GROWTH OF HYBRID POPLAR AND WILLOW IN AN IN SITU TRIAL ON SOILS HEAVILY CONTAMINATED WITH PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS
Sep 01, 2005; ... Species and hybrids between species belonging to the genera Populus (poplar) and Salix (willow) have been used successfully for phytoremediation of contaminated soils. Our objectives were to: 1) evaluate the potential for establishing genotypes of poplar and willow on soils heavily contaminated ...
INFLUENCE OF FERTILIZER LEVELS ON PHYTOREMEDIATION OF CRUDE OIL-CONTAMINATED SOILS WITH THE TROPICAL PASTURE GRASS BRACHIARIA BRIZANTHA (HOCHST. EX A. RICH.) STAPF
Sep 01, 2005; ... Determination of fertilizer levels in phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons is a complex issue, since nutrient demands of the plant and of degrading microorganisms in the rhizosphere have to be considered. In the present work, three fertilizer levels were tested in a greenhouse experiment ...
METAL PHYTOEXTRACTION-A SURVEY OF POTENTIAL RISKS
Sep 01, 2005; ... INTRODUCTION Metal phytoremediation, and more specifically, phytoextraction, utilizing hyperaccumulators is one of the most exciting new environmental technologies developed over the past decade (Baker et al., 1994; Chaney, 1983a; Glass, 1999). Phytoremediation is the use of living ...
COMMENTS FROM THE EDITORIAL BOARD
Sep 01, 2005; ... The occasion of the 3rd EPA International Applied Phytotechnologies Conference in Atlanta, GA, provided a great opportunity for a meeting of the editorial board of the Journal. Jason White, Managing Editor, gave an overview of the submission numbers for the Journal for the past year. In 2004,50 ...
DEGRADATION OF ALYSSUM MURALE BIOMASS IN SOIL
Sep 01, 2005; ... The Ni-hyperaccumulating plant Alyssum murale accumulates exceptionally high concentrations of nickel in its aboveground biomass. The reasons for hyperaccumulation remain unproven; however, it has been proposed that elemental allelopathy might lie important. High-Ni leaves shed by the plant may ...
EFFECTS OF ARSENIC SPECIES AND CONCENTRATIONS ON ARSENIC ACCUMULATION BY DIFFERENT FERN SPECIES IN A HYDROPONIC SYSTEM
Sep 01, 2005; ... Two hydroponic experiments were conducted to evaluate factors affecting plant arsenic (As) hyperaccumulation. In the first experiment, two As hyperaccumulators (Pteris vittata and P. cretica mayii) were exposed to 1 and 10 mg L^sup -1^ arsenite (AsIII) and monomethyl arsenic acid (MMA) for 4 wk ....
EFFECT OF COAL ASH ON GROWTH AND METAL UPTAKE BY SOME SELECTED ECTOMYCORRHIZAL FUNGI IN VITRO
Sep 01, 2005; ... Sir isolates of ectomycorrhizal fungi namely, Laccaria fraterna (EM-1083), Pisolithus tinctorius (EM-1081), Pisolithus tinctorius (EM-1290), Pisolithus tinctorius (EM-1293), Scleroderma verucosum (EM-1283), and Scleroderma cepa (EM-1233), were grown on three variants of coal ash, namely ...
THIRD INTERNATIONAL PHYTOTECHNOLOGIES CONFERENCE, ATLANTA, GA, APRIL 19-22, 2005
Sep 01, 2005; ... The Conference was cosponsored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Midwest Hazardous Substance Research Center, with additional support from ChevronTexaco, BP, Edenspace, and Entrix.
