Most studies on the effects of plants reducing pollutants in surface runoff focus elimination a single pollutant by plant species. We take into account fact that natural riparian herbaceous vegetation buffer strips remove multiple at same time, and species need to be selected according actual conditions. In an indoor simulation, processed soil samples were taken, collected rainwater was used pr...

This paper reviews research on phytoremediation (2002–2021), particularly for the estimation of plant efficiency and soil pollution indices, examining extraction metals from plants growing under both artificial (spiked with specific metal) natural conditions. From analysis >200 published experimental results, it was found that contamination factor geo-accumulation index as well translocation...

This article provides information on the ecology of lawn communities in cities Urals Republic Bashkortostan (Ufa, Sterlitamak, Salavat, Ishimbay, Meleuz, Birsk, Neftekamsk, Yanaul). On basis 195 relevés, ecological regimes and their species were determined using scales Landolt. DCA ordination relevés confirmed floristic differentiation into 4 associations, 2 subassociations, 5 facies assigned t...

Some members of the familyClavicipitaceae are endophytic and have mutualistic relationship with the plant family Poaceae. Their relationship is beneficial for both host and fungus. In the present investigation, endophytic fungi were isolated from seed and leaf sheath of hosts Festuca arundinacea, F. ovina, F. pratensis, Bromus tomentellus, Melica persica and Lolium prenne. Morphological charact...

• Climate change (altered CO(2) , warming, and precipitation) may affect plant-microbial interactions, such as the Lolium arundinaceum-Neotyphodium coenophialum symbiosis, to alter future ecosystem structure and function. • To assess this possibility, tall fescue tillers were collected from an existing climate manipulation experiment in a constructed old-field community in Tennessee (USA). Endo...

1. To study the potential for complementarity in nitrogen acquisition from different soil depths, we injected an isotope tracer ( 15 NH 4 Cl) at 5 and 20 cm depths in plant communities containing Achillea millefolium L. and Festuca ovina L. or Phleum pratense L. and Trifolium pratense L. in monocultures and two-species mixtures. 2. In monoculture, Festuca and Phleum took up tracer at 5 and 20 c...
