Screening of Plant Species Response and Performance for Green Belt Development: Implications for Semi-Urban Ecosystem Restoration

Winifred U. Anake et al.

Summary: This study examines the air pollution response and performance of eight plant species from two locations in Nigeria. The results indicate that these plants can serve as indicators of air pollution and are suitable for green belt development. Syzygium malaccense, Mangifera indica, and Ficus auriculata are recommended for green belt design.

Acidified Cow Dung-Assisted Phytoextraction of Heavy Metals by Ryegrass from Contaminated Soil as an Eco-Efficient Technique

Sana Ashraf et al.

Summary: Heavy metal contamination of soil is a global environmental issue, and low-cost remedial techniques are needed. Phytoremediation is an emerging technique that can effectively remove heavy metal contamination. In this study, acidified organic products and ryegrass were used in a pot experiment, and the results showed that acidified organic products and acidified cow dung slurry were the most effective in removing lead and cadmium.

Influence of Organic Amendments on Soil Carbon Sequestration Potential of Paddy Soils under Two Irrigation Regimes

Sabina Yeasmin et al.

Summary: Soil organic carbon (OC) is crucial for soil quality and the global carbon cycle. This study evaluated the impact of different organic amendments on carbon sequestration in paddy soils under different irrigation regimes. The findings showed that continuous waterlogging conditions led to higher soil OC content and carbon sequestration potential, while the application of poultry manure as an organic amendment increased carbon sequestration potential.

Ecological restoration of coal fly ash-dumped area through bamboo plantation

Raushan Kumar et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the phytoremediation potential of different bamboo species on a 5-year-old FA-dumped site near a thermal power plant. Organic inputs improved soil quality, with bamboo plants showing the ability to exclude or accumulate different trace elements. Biochemical parameters of bamboo leaves varied, indicating an adaptive response to environmental pollution.
