Ladder brake fern or Chinese brake fern: 26% of As in the soil removed after 20 weeks' plantation, about 90% As accumulated in fronds. [14] Root extracts reduce ...

  3. Phytoremediation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoremediation

    Phytoremediation technologies use living plants to clean up soil, air and water contaminated with hazardous contaminants. [1] It is defined as "the use of green plants and the associated microorganisms, along with proper soil amendments and agronomic techniques to either contain, remove or render toxic environmental contaminants harmless". [2]

  4. Phytoextraction process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoextraction_process

    Phytoextraction is a subprocess of phytoremediation in which plants remove dangerous elements or compounds from soil or water, most usually heavy metals, metals that have a high density and may be toxic to organisms even at relatively low concentrations. [1]

  5. Hyperaccumulator - Wikipedia

    The plants also hold potential to be used to mine metals from soils with very high concentrations (phytomining) by growing the plants, then harvesting them for the metals in their tissues. [ 1 ] The genetic advantage of hyperaccumulation of metals may be that the toxic levels of heavy metals in leaves deter herbivores or increase the toxicity ...

  7. Rhizofiltration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizofiltration

    A system to achieve this can consist of a “feeder layer” of soil suspended above a contaminated stream through which plants grow, extending the bulk of their roots into the water. The feeder layer allows the plants to receive fertilizer without contaminating the stream, while simultaneously removing heavy metals from the water. [4]

  8. Bioretention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioretention

    Plants are less active in colder seasons, suggesting that most of the heavy metals remain in the bioretention media rather than being taken up by plant roots. [9] Therefore, removal and replacement of the bioretention layer will become necessary in areas with heavy metal pollutants in stormwater runoff to extend the life of the treatment system.

  9. Serpentine soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentine_soil

    In California, shrubs such as leather oak (Quercus durata) and coast whiteleaf manzanita (Arctostaphylos viscida ssp. pulchella) are typical of serpentine soils. [4] In order to overcome the chemical and physical challenges presented by serpentine soils, plants have developed tolerances to drought, heavy metals, and limited nutrients. [4]
