Effects of arbuscular mycorrhiza and phosphorus application on arsenic toxicity in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and on the transformation of arsenic in the rhizosphere (2006, background): “The fate of As in soils and the biological effects caused by its presence in elevated concentrations are principally determined by dissolution from the solid phase and other factors affecting bioavailability (Fitz and Wenzel 2002).”
Heavy metal hyperaccumulating plants: how and why do they do it? And what makes them so interesting? (2011, background): “The pH decrease, in fact, enhances the water soluble As that can be taken up by the roots [53,54].”
Accumulation of Pb, Cu, and Zn in native plants growing on a contaminated Florida site. (2006, background): “Plants exhibiting TF and particularly BCF values less than one are unsuitable for phytoextraction (Fitz and Wenzel, 2002).”
Variation in response to heavy metals during vegetative growth in Dorycnium pentaphyllum Scop. (2009, background): “Technologies currently available for the remediation of metal-contaminated soils are expensive, time-consuming and may produce secondary waste (Fitz and Wenzel 2002).”
Arsenic uptake and toxicity in plants: integrating mycorrhizal influences (2010, background): “It is now recognised as a serious threat to human health, as a consequence of consumption of contaminated plant material (Fitz and Wenzel 2002; Meharg 2004; Meharg and Hartley-Whitaker 2002; Smith et al. 1998).”
Effects of biochar and greenwaste compost amendments on mobility, bioavailability and toxicity of inorganic and organic contaminants in a multi-element polluted soil. (2010, background): “1) were associated with the increase in pH, especially where biochar and compost were applied in combination (Table 1); increased As solubility with more alkaline pH at soil pH > 7 has previously been reported (O'Neill, 1990; Fitz and Wenzel, 2002).”
Organic matter–microorganism–plant in soil bioremediation: a synergic approach (2013, background): “Padmavathiamma and Li (2007) have extensively reviewed the metal hyper-accumulation in plants, while the role of rhizosphere has been published in specific reviews (McGrath et al. 2001; Fitz and Wenzel 2002; Wenzel et al. 2004).”
Transfer of heavy metals through terrestrial food webs: a review (2015, background): “Soil bacteria, including those in the rhizosphere, also may release compounds into soil, such as antibiotics, antifungals, organic acids, hormones, and metal chelators, which may increase or decrease metal bioavailability to other organisms (Xiong et al. 2008; Fitz and Wenzel 2002; Wenzel 2009).”
Rhizosphere processes and management in plant-assisted bioremediation (phytoremediation) of soils (2009, background): “The role of rhizosphere processes in the phytoremediation of inorganic pollutants, in particular metals/metalloids, is much less investigated and only a few specific reviews are available on this topic (McGrath et al. 2001; Fitz and Wenzel 2002; Wenzel et al. 2004).”
Metallophytes—a view from the rhizosphere (2010, background): “1999), or rather increase trace element availability (Fitz and Wenzel 2002).”
