Coffee waste-derived biochar was found to immobilize heavy metals in contaminated soil, although there are few studies involving these materials. Given the large amount of waste generated coffee industry, this presents a relevant opportunity contribute circular economy and environmental sustainability. Therefore, objective study evaluate effects application biochars derived from grounds parchme...

OBJECTIVE Unreclaimed mine tailings sites are a worldwide problem, with thousands of unvegetated, exposed tailings piles presenting a source of contamination for nearby communities. Tailings disposal sites in arid and semiarid environments are especially subject to eolian dispersion and water erosion. Phytostabilization, the use of plants for in situ stabilization of tailings and metal contamin...

During the period of coal mining in Kuzbass, about 9 billion tons were mined, which is 16% all in-place reserves Kuzbass. In 2020, production amounted to 220.7 million tons, including 164.4 open pit mining, 74% total. The negative side an increase share area disturbed lands, currently reaches 150 thousand hectares. To restore biological diversity dumps, a nature-like technology has been develop...

     Roads have an important role in plants dispersal on different scales. Various plant species settle on roadsides, but some of them can enter the natural environments and threaten their biodiversity. Worldwide knowledge of roadside flora is necessary for local and global management of natural areas. Accordingly, the roadside flora of Northern Khorasan rangelands was studied along the 600 km ...

phytoremediation is a technology that uses plants for the remediation of the contaminated soils, sediments, tailings, and groundwaters. in this work, the ability of trifoliumalexanderium for the phytoremediation of the tailings soil in the anjir-tange coal washing plant was investigated. for this purpose, trifolium sp. was cultivated in three soils consisting of the tailings dam, an agricultura...

Dryland salinity is a major land management issue globally, and results in the abandonment of farmland. Revegetation with halophytic shrub species such as Atriplex nummularia for carbon mitigation may be a viable option but to generate carbon credits ongoing monitoring and verification is required. This study investigated the utility of high-resolution airborne images (Digital Multi Spectral Im...

The presence and composition of soil microbial communities has been shown to have a large impact on plant-plant interactions and consequently plant diversity and composition. The goal of the present study was to evaluate impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which constitutes an essential link between the soil and the plant's roots. A greenhouse pot experime...
