Occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in mining-impacted sites and their contribution to ecological restoration: Mechanisms and applications (2017, background): “Once diversity is lost, it can be difficult to rebuild a diverse plant community in mining-impacted sites due to a suite of environmental pressures (Sheoran et al., 2010; Wong, 2003).”
Opportunities and feasibilities for biotechnological improvement of Zn, Cd or Ni tolerance and accumulation in plants (2011, background): “An extensive root system and high biomass, so they keep most of the metals in their root zone, are desired properties of plants useful for phytostabilization (Wong, 2003).”
Characterization of copper-resistant bacteria and assessment of bacterial communities in rhizosphere soils of copper-tolerant plants (2010, neutral): “Copper (Cu) tailings, produced from extraction and processing of copper ores, may cause severe damage to ecosystems including plants, animals, microorganisms and human health (Kim et al., 2003; Wong, 2003; Haque et al., 2008).”
Enhancement of river bank shear strength parameters using Vetiver grass root system (2018, background): “The potential benefits of using Vetiver grass for soil reinforcement has been studied by many researchers (e.g., Hengchaovanich and Nilaweera 1996; Gray and Sotir 1996; Wong 2003 Mickovski and Van Beek 2009; Cazzuffi et al. 2014; Xu et al. 2014; Tardío and Mickovski 2015; Dumlao et al. 2015).”
Effect of cadmium, copper and zinc on plants, soil microorganisms and soil enzymes. (2012, positive): “The highest quantities of heavy metals enter soils from the metallurgic and mining industries (M AIZ et al. 2000, W ONG 2003, V ÁSQUEZ - -”
Advances in restoration ecology: rising to the challenges of the coming decades (2015, background): “Insights from agriculture have long suggested the use of facilitative legumes to ameliorate soil conditions (Bradshaw 1983, Wong 2003).”
Remediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils: Phytoremediation as a Potentially Promising Clean-Up Technology (2009, background): “This option is called phytostabilization, and considers the use of metal-tolerant plant species to immobilize heavy metals belowground, decreasing metal mobility and reducing the likelihood of metals entering into the food chain (Wong, 2003).”
Phytoremediation: A Promising Approach for Revegetation of Heavy Metal-Polluted Land (2020, background): “Phytostabilization is the use of metal-tolerant plant species to immobilize heavy metals belowground and decrease their bioavailability, thereby preventing their migration into the ecosystem and reducing the likelihood of metals entering into the food chain (Wong, 2003; Marques et al., 2009).”
Interactions Between Arbuscular Mycorrhizae and Plants in Phytoremediation of Metal-Contaminated Soils: A Review (2013, background): “Hence, they can be used to achieve long-term stability of the land surface (Wong, 2003).”
Uptake of lead and zinc by wild plants growing on contaminated soils (2006, background): “Metalliferous mining and processing, including the dumping of wastes, usually produces the most severe cases of heavy metal pollution (Wong, 2003; Freitas et al., 2004).”
Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated with Metals and Metalloids at Mining Areas: Potential of Native Flora (2014, background): “In addition to elevated metal/metalloid concentrations, other adverse factors included absence of topsoil, erosion, drought, compac‐ tion, wide temperature fluctuations, absence of soil-forming fine materials and shortage of essential nutrients [84,101].”
