Combined amendment of immobilizers and the plant growth-promoting strain Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN favours plant growth and reduces heavy metal uptake (2015, background): “This was considered as an ideal immobilization treatment providing a large mineral surface with calcite and clay minerals added with gravel sludge, sorption onto iron of the siderite and increased cation exchange capacity (Friesl-Hanl et al., 2006; Vangronsveld et al., 2009).”
Biotechnological advances in bioremediation of heavy metals contaminated ecosystems: an overview with special reference to phytoremediation (2014, background): “In general, the remediation technologies, whether in place or ex situ, do one of two things: They either remove the contaminants from the substratum (decontamination or cleanup techniques) or reduce the risk posed by the contaminants by reducing exposure (stabilization techniques) (Vangronsveld et a”
Phytostabilization of As, Sb and Pb by two willow species (S. viminalis and S. purpurea) on former mine technosols (2016, background): “…plant for phytoremediation has to present: (i) a high biomass production, (ii) a facility for cultivation and (iii) a high ability to tolerate, translocate, accumulate metal(loid)s in its biomass or to exclude these elements from living organs (Hazrat et al., 2013; Vangronsveld et al., 2009).”
Legume– Rhizobium Symbioses as a Tool for Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Polluted Soils (2011, background): “However, several hyperaccumulators are slow-growing small herbs with poor root systems (Vangrosveld et al. 2009).”
A review of biochars' potential role in the remediation, revegetation and restoration of contaminated soils. (2011, background): “As the modern agenda seeks to engineer natural processes tomeet remediationneeds in the most cost-effective ways possible, the in situ application of amendments to contaminated soils to bind pollutants whilst providing material conditions that promote plant growth and stimulate ecological restoratio”
