However, direct modification of electrode with metal nanoparticles encountered the drawback of low biocompability although these nanoparticles showed intriguing catalytic properties. In this work, conductive polymer encapsulation of metal nanoparticles was developed to improve the biocompability and then applied for anode modification in MFCs. The Au@polyaniline (Au@PANI) core-shell nanocomposite was simply synthesized with an aid of ionic liquid. Morphological, crystalline and structural properties were studied in details with SEM, TEM, XRD and FTIR analyses and an intact PANI shell covered on the sphere of Au nanoparticle was observed. Upon modification of this core-shell nanocomposite on carbon cloth electrode, significant improvement on bioelectrochemical activity was observed when compared with bare carbon cloth or carbon cloth modified with naked Au nanoparticles. As a result, the performance of MFCs was enhanced from 332\u202fmW/m2 to 804\u202f\u00b1\u202f73\u202fmW/m2 by Au@PANI modification.

Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (METs) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional bioremediation techniques for the treatment of PH-contaminated groundwater. However, the field-application of these promising sustainable as well as cost-effective technologies is still scarce. One major reason is the lack of scalable reactor configurations. Herein, an upgraded version of the \u201cbioelectric well\u201d, a novel tubular bioelectrochemical reactor that can be installed directly within a groundwater well, was tested for the simultaneous removal of oxidableoxidizable (i.e., toluene and other PH) and reducible (i.e., sulfate) compounds from a real contaminated groundwater.  After a proof-of-concept study in batch mode, the system was operated in continuous-flow mode for 48 days with the anode polarized at 0.2\u00a0V vs. SHE and a hydraulic retention time of 11\u00a0h. In these conditions, a steady-state removal rate of toluene as high as 31\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02\u00a0mg L\u22121 d\u22121 was achieved, which was more than double the value observed with the open circuit potential (OCP) control and one of the highest reported in literature. The electrode polarization went along with a higher abundance of key-functional genes involved in toluene degradation. This was not only showing its clear functional connection to the microbial metabolism, but further allowed to identify the involved electrogenic biodegradation pathway. In addition, the system simultaneously removed sulfate (30\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01\u00a0mg L\u22121 d\u22121), with bacteria likely using the H2 generated at the cathode as electron donor. Nevertheless, the apparent sulfate removal rate in the polarized and in the OCP runs was similar. The analysis of the microbial communities evidenced a high abundance of the genus Chlorobium in the effluent of the polarized run. These microorganisms were probably responsible for the continuous oxidative regeneration of sulfate from the sulfide produced at the cathode by sulfate-reducing bacteria. This phenomenon probably hindered the overall removal of sulfate by the bioelectrochemical system.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "0303 health sciences", "03 medical and health sciences", "Microbial electrochemical technologies", "Groundwater remediation", "bioremediation; groundwater remediation; microbial electrochemical technologies; petroleum hydrocarbons; toluene", "Petroleum hydrocarbons", "Bioremediation", "6.

Recently, SOC also became an indicator for monitoring climate change mitigation policies in the agricultural sector. The availability of up-to-date SOC inventories is thus crucial in terms of supporting SOC\u2013related actions at country or sub-country scales. Currently, the National Monitoring System of the Agricultural Soils of Slovakia (CMS-P), whose network of 318 monitoring sites was last surveyed in 2018, is the only available source of up-to-date topsoil SOC data for agricultural land in Slovakia. Although very useful at the national scale, the number of CMS-P observations it contains is too limited for much needed sub-national SOC inventories. We hypothesized that with the aid of well-chosen macro-scale drivers of topsoil SOC accumulation in agricultural land in Slovakia, and by mapping those drivers geographically, we could upscale the CMS-P observations and produce a regional estimate of topsoil SOC. Altitude, land cover, topsoil texture, and soil type were assumed to be the key factors controlling topsoil SOC accumulation in Slovakia, and based on these, the country was classified into 14 macro-scale geographical regions. Typical ranges and mid-class values of 0\u201330cm topsoil SOC concentrations (%) and stocks (t ha\u22121) were calculated for each macro-scale region from CMS-P data. The average topsoil SOC content in agricultural land was estimated to be 2.13% (72.9 t ha\u22121). The highest topsoil SOC stock (> 90 t ha\u22121) was estimated for the lowlands of Slovakia, and the lowest (< 50 t ha\u22121) for the shallow and stony soils of mountain regions. When aggregated to 78 administrative regions at LAU1 level, the area-weighted averages ranged between 39.20 t ha\u22121 and 80.0 t ha\u22121, with the highest values (> 65 t ha\u22121) being in LAU1 regions in the south-west, south-east, and north of Slovakia where arable land is most prevalent. Total SOC storage in 0\u201330cm topsoil of agricultural land in Slovakia was estimated at 118.39 Mt, with two-thirds of this amount stored in arable soils in 33 south-west, south-east, and south LAU1 administrative regions. As there is no alternative and up-to-date dataset on topsoil SOC content in Slovakia, the upscaling algorithm presented in this study is an important step toward utilizing CMS-P data for sub-national SOC inventories. It may also offer a new way of providing inputs to help predict future or alternative regional topsoil SOC accumulation trajectories in Slovakian agricultural land using process-based or statistical models.", "keywords": ["2.

The results suggest that measuring the hemispherical transmittance of the soiling accumulated on a PV glass coupon can give enough information to quantify the impact of soiling on energy production. Each PV technology is found to have a preferred spectral region, or a specific single wavelength, for which the transmittance through a PV glass coupon could be used for the best estimation of soiling losses. Overall, considering the average spectral transmittance between the extreme wavelengths of the material-specific absorption band, or the transmittance of soiling at a single wavelength between 500 and 600 nm yields the best estimations for different PV technologies.

Malaysia produced 16 million tonnes of palm oil in 2007, mainly for food use. This paper addresses maximizing bioenergy use from oil-palm to support Malaysia's energy initiative while minimizing greenhouse-gas emissions from land-use change. When converting primary and secondary forests to oil-palm plantations between 270\u2013530 and 120\u2013190\u00a0g CO2-equivalent per MJ of biodiesel produced, respectively, is released. However, converting degraded lands results in the capture of between 23 and 85\u00a0g CO2-equivalent per MJ of biodiesel produced. Using various combinations of land types, Malaysia could meet the 5% biodiesel target with a net GHG savings of about 1.03 million tonnes (4.9% of the transportation sector's diesel emissions) when accounting for the emissions savings from the diesel fuel displaced.

As with all the renewable energy sources, for an effective management of solar power, it is essential to have reliable and accurate information about weather/climate conditions that affect the production of electricity. Operations in the solar energy industry are normally based on daily (or intra-daily) forecasts. Nevertheless, information about the incoming months can be relevant to support and inform operational and maintenance activities. This paper discusses a methodology to assess whether a seasonal climate forecast can provide a useful prediction for a specific sector, in this paper the European solar power industry. After evaluating the quality of the forecasts in providing probabilistic information for solar radiation, we describe how to assess their potential usefulness for a generic user by proposing an approach that takes into account not only their accuracy but also other potentially relevant factors. This approach is called index of opportunity and is then illustrated by presenting an example for the European solar power sector. The index of opportunity provides indications about where and when seasonal climate forecasts can benefit the decision-making in the photovoltaic sector. Even more importantly, it suggests an approach on how to evaluate their usefulness for the user's decision-making. This approach has the advantage of not limiting the definition of the usefulness only to the quality of the forecasts but rather considering, in an explicit way, all the factors that must be combined with the forecast's quality to define what is useful or not for the user.", "keywords": ["bepress|Physical Sciences and Mathematics", "330", "EarthArXiv|Physical Sciences and Mathematics|Environmental Sciences|Sustainability", "EarthArXiv|Physical Sciences and Mathematics|Environmental Sciences", "bepress|Physical Sciences and Mathematics|Earth Sciences", "02 engineering and technology", "EarthArXiv|Physical Sciences and Mathematics|Earth Sciences", "7.

In this paper we provide a detailed analysis of the iLUC effect, and further address the issues of deforestation, irrigation water use, and crop price increases due to expanding biofuel acreage. We use GLOBIOM \u2013 an economic partial equilibrium model of the global forest, agriculture, and biomass sectors with a bottom-up representation of agricultural and forestry management practices. The results indicate that second generation biofuel production fed by wood from sustainably managed existing forests would lead to a negative iLUC factor, meaning that overall emissions are 27% lower compared to the \u201cNo biofuel\u201d scenario by 2030. The iLUC factor of first generation biofuels global expansion is generally positive, requiring some 25 years to be paid back by the GHG savings from the substitution of biofuels for conventional fuels. Second generation biofuels perform better also with respect to the other investigated criteria; on the condition that they are not sourced from dedicated plantations directly competing for agricultural land. If so, then efficient first generation systems are preferable. Since no clear technology champion for all situations exists, we would recommend targeting policy instruments directly at the positive and negative effects of biofuel production rather than at the production itself.", "keywords": ["[SDV.SA]Life Sciences [q-bio]/Agricultural sciences", "CHANGEMENT D'USAGE DES SOLS", "2.

Furthermore, medicinal crops may offer a phytoremediation option for mildly heavy metal polluted agricultural soils. The effect of metal-enriched soils was evaluated in five medicinal species (Bidens tripartita L., Leonurus cardiaca L., Marrubium vulgare L., Melissa officinalis L. and Origanum heracleoticum L.). Soils were sampled in the vicinities of the Non-Ferrous Metals Combine (Pb\u2013Zn smelter) near Plovdiv, Bulgaria, from plots at 0.5\u00a0km (soil 1), 3\u00a0km (soil 2), 6\u00a0km (soil 3) and 9\u00a0km (control soil) from the smelter. Cadmium, Pb and Zn concentration in soil 1 were above the critical total (HNO3-extractable) concentrations for these elements in soils. Generally, heavy metals in soil 1 decreased dry mater yields of the five species relative to the control. However, the essential oil content of M. vulgare, M. officinalis and O. heracleoticum was within the usual range for respective species and was not affected by the treatments. The overall metal uptake was in the order: B. tripartita\u00a0>\u00a0M. vulgare\u00a0>\u00a0O. heracleoticum\u00a0>\u00a0L. cardiaca\u00a0>\u00a0M. officinalis for Cd, L. cardiaca\u00a0=\u00a0M. vulgare\u00a0>\u00a0B. tripartita\u00a0=\u00a0M. officinalis\u00a0=\u00a0O. heracleoticum for Pb, L. cardiaca\u00a0=\u00a0M. vulgare\u00a0>\u00a0O. heracleoticum\u00a0>\u00a0B. tripartita\u00a0=\u00a0M. officinalis for Cu and B. tripartita\u00a0>\u00a0L. cardiaca\u00a0=\u00a0M. vulgare\u00a0>\u00a0M. officinalis\u00a0=\u00a0O. heracleoticum for Mn and Zn. Overall, metal concentration in plant parts was in the order: roots\u00a0>\u00a0leaves\u00a0>\u00a0flowers\u00a0>\u00a0stems for Cd, Pb and Cu, leaves\u00a0>\u00a0roots\u00a0>\u00a0flowers\u00a0>\u00a0stems for Mn and Zn. The concentration of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in plant tissue correlated to the exchangeable (EXCH) and the carbonate (CARB) bound fractions of metals in soil. Heavy metals caused disruptions of the plasma membrane of some root cortical cells and alterations in chloroplasts thylakoids in plants grown in soil 1. Metal content in teas prepared from the species was negligible, the essential oils were free of metals. Generally, the transfer factor (TF) was less than 1, indicating the tested species did not have a significant phytoextraction potential. This study demonstrated the three essential oil species M. vulgare, M. officinalis and O. heracleoticum can be grown as alternative high-value crops in metal polluted agricultural soils around the smelter and provide metal-free marketable produce.", "keywords": ["2.

Using a biophysical biomass-balance model, we analyze how these factors affect global primary bioenergy potentials in 2050. The model calculates biomass supply and demand balances for eleven world regions, eleven food categories, seven food crop types and two livestock categories, integrating agricultural forecasts and scenarios with a consistent global land use and NPP database. The TREND scenario results in a global primary bioenergy potential of 77\u00a0EJ/yr, alternative assumptions on food-system changes result in a range of 26-141\u00a0EJ/yr. Exclusion of areas for biodiversity conservation and inaccessible land in failed states reduces the bioenergy potential by up to 45%. Optimistic assumptions on future energy crop yields increase the potential by up to 48%, while pessimistic assumptions lower the potential by 26%.

Similarly, sector emissions are factored by travel distance, vehicle fuel intensity and fuel GHG (\u201ccarbon\u201d) intensity. Analyzing these factors using US and China data reveals that for a broad range of conditions, stringent GHG emissions limits for the auto sector imply limits of comparable stringency for fuel carbon intensity. However, carbon intensity is a modeled representation of complex energy supply and use systems rather than a measurable property of fuels themselves. Carefully examining the locations and magnitudes of fuel-related emissions indicates that the proper policy focus is on the sectors that supply fuel rather than the choice of fuels in the auto sector. Therefore, beyond fundamental R&D, policies to commercialize AFVs are not necessarily required for climate protection at present. In addition to managing travel demand and improving vehicle efficiency, the implied policy priority is limiting net GHG impacts in the energy and other natural resource sectors that supply fuels. Future work is needed to develop GHG management protocols for liquid fuel supply systems involving fungible commodities and dynamic global supply chains.", "keywords": ["13. Climate action", "11.

Discussed hereafter is the innovative principle of indoor radon regulation that considers both temporal and instrumental uncertainties. A quantitative relation between Action and Reference levels is being established for the first time. A statistical method for assessing the coefficient of temporal radon variation K(t) depending on the mode and duration of measurements is discussed. New data on the values of K(t) in hot climates and unstable geology typical for Israel are obtained. It is also shown that the influence of meteorological factors, tidal forces and seismic activity on the behavior of indoor radon does not improve the measurement protocol.

Little is known, however, about the effects of these gases on understory plant taxa. At the Aspen free-air CO2 and O3 enrichment (Aspen FACE) site we assessed colonization and establishment of two common forest understory species, red (Trifolium pratense) and white (Trifolium repens) clover. To better understand these natural patterns in red clover, the more responsive of the two clover species, we also assessed intraspecific variation in growth performance to altered atmospheric conditions. Natural red clover populations were larger in enriched CO2 atmospheres, whereas white clover populations showed no response to CO2. Neither species showed beneficial or detrimental responses to enriched O3 atmospheres. Nine red clover genotypes exhibited similar, but counterintuitive, decreases in shoot and root biomass, and increases in foliar nitrogen concentrations and root nodule numbers, under elevated CO2. We suggest that in enriched CO2 habitats, increased shading from rapidly growing trees offsets the positive benefits of CO2 for understory plant performance. Enriched CO2 and O3 atmospheres may have large direct and indirect effects on colonization, establishment, and performance of common understory plants.

The need for realistic experiments examining the effects of extreme events, including their possible interaction, is therefore high. Here, we imposed heat and drought events in a full factorial design, on experimental plant communities consisting of three temperate, annual or biannual herbaceous species. The extremes were simulated in either early or late summer (July or August), as summer is the season where they are expected to have the greatest impact. The 10-day heat waves were simulated with infrared lamps and drought (either 20 or 17 days) was created by withholding water input and removing the water table.  During exposure, effects of drought extremes on leaf physiology were predominantly negative in July, and absent in August. Effects of heat extremes were positive, negative or neutral depending on species and period. Heat and drought were additive in July, but interacted in August. The aforementioned negative effects were not reflected in total (aboveground plus belowground) end-of-season community biomass, which, surprisingly, was stimulated in response to drought extremes in both periods. Effects of heat extremes varied but never reduced biomass, likewise to combined heat and drought. This increase in total community biomass originated exclusively from stimulated root growth. The exact mechanism for this unexpected result could not be ascertained, but greater whole-plant nitrogen stocks clearly indicated enhanced nutrient availability. The latter may have arisen from increased net mineralization or from greater root exploration under the influence of \u201cmid-season drought\u201d. Shifts in species dominance apparently also played a role, as species with pronounced allocation to roots were released from competition.  This study demonstrates that community responses to climate extremes are not necessarily negative. The observed responses depended on the soil moisture conditions they induced, which in our experiments varied with the timing of the imposed extremes, even within the same season.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "Chemistry", "13.

However, it is unclear why gypsophiles display greater affinity to gyspeous soils than other soils. These plants are edaphic endemics, growing in alkaline soils with high Ca and S. Gypsophiles tend to show higher foliar Ca and S, lower K and, sometimes, higher Mg than non-exclusive gypsum species, named gypsovags. Our aim was to test if the unique leaf elemental signature of gypsophiles could be the result of special nutritional requirements linked to their specificity to gypseous soils. These nutritional requirements could hamper the completion of their life cycle and growth in other soil types. To test this hypothesis, we cultivated five gypsophiles and five gypsovags dominant in Spanish gypsum outcrops on gypseous and calcareous (non-gypseous) field soil for 29 months. We regularly measured growth and phenology, and differences in leaf traits, final biomass, individual seed mass, seed viability, photosynthetic assimilation and leaf elemental composition. We found all the gypsophiles studied were able to complete their life cycle in non-gypseous soil, producing viable seeds, attaining greater biomass and displaying higher photosynthetic assimilation rates than in gypseous soil. The leaf elemental composition of some species (both gypsophiles and gypsovags) shifted depending on soil, although none of them showed leaf deficiency symptoms. Regardless of soil type, gypsophiles had higher leaf S, Mg, Fe, Al, Na, Mn, Cr and lower K than gypsovags. Consequently, gypsophiles have a unique leaf chemical signature compared to gypsovags of the same family, particularly due to their high leaf S regardless of soil conditions. However, these nutrient requirements are not sufficient to explain why gypsophiles are restricted to gypsum soil in natural conditions.", "keywords": ["2.

We tested whether irrigation volume (% of crop evapotranspiration, ET) and placement (partial rootzone drying [PRD] or deficit irrigation [DI], which irrigate part or all of the rootzone respectively) affect this signalling by measuring stomatal conductance (gs), leaf and shoot water potential (\u03a8leaf, \u03a8shoot), shoot xylem sap ABA concentration ([X-ABA]shoot) and various foliar hormones (ABA, IAA, SA, JA, JA-Ile and cis-OPDA) in cotton plants exposed to different irrigation volumes (100%ET or 50%ET) and placements (DI or PRD). Partial rootzone drying caused stomatal closure coincident with sustained foliar ABA accumulation and minimal changes in \u03a8shoot, but continued soil drying of the dry compartment reversed partial stomatal closure (with gs of 100%ET PRD plants sometimes greater than well-watered plants). With 100%ET PRD, partial stomatal closure correlated with decreased soil moisture of the dry compartment and increased [ABA]leaf, but neither \u03a8leaf nor [X-ABA]shoot.

While stomatal closure at 50%ET correlated with foliar accumulation of multiple plant hormones, foliar ABA dynamics best explained transient stomatal closure at 100%ET PRD but not stomatal re-opening with prolonged soil drying.

The abundance of carbon sources and other nutrients, a variety of possible electron acceptors such as oxygen or nitrate, the presence of particles onto which bacteria can adsorb, or a fairly stable pH and temperature are examples of conditions favouring the remarkable diversity of microorganisms in this peculiar habitat. The wastewater microbiome brings together bacteria of environmental, human and animal origins, many harbouring antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Although numerous factors contribute, mostly in a complex interplay, for shaping this microbiome, the effect of specific potential selective pressures such as antimicrobial residues or metals, is supposedly determinant to dictate the fate of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and ARGs during wastewater treatment. This paper aims to enrich the discussion on the ecology of ARB&ARGs in urban wastewater treatment plants (UWTPs), intending to serve as a guide for wastewater engineers or other professionals, who may be interested in studying or optimizing the wastewater treatment for the removal of ARB&ARGs. Fitting this aim, the paper overviews and discusses: i) aspects of the complexity of the wastewater system and/or treatment that may affect the fate of ARB&ARGs; ii) methods that can be used to explore the resistome, meaning the whole ARB&ARGs, in wastewater habitats; and iii) some frequently asked questions for which are proposed addressing modes.

Samples were analyzed for 2248 chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) by wide-scope target screening employing LC-ESI-QTOF-MS. 280 compounds were detected at least in one sample and quantified. Spatial differences in the concentrations and distribution of the compounds classes were discussed. Additionally, samples were analyzed for the possible agonistic/antagonistic potencies using a panel of in vitro transactivation reporter gene CALUX\u00ae bioassays including ER\u03b1 (estrogenics), anti-AR (anti-androgens), GR (glucocorticoids), anti-PR (anti-progestins), PPAR\u03b1 and PPAR\u03b3 (peroxisome proliferators) and PAH assays. The potency of the wastewater samples to cause oxidative stress and induce xenobiotic metabolism was determined using the Nrf2 and PXR CALUX\u00ae bioassays, respectively. The signals from each of the bioassays were compared with the recently developed effect-based trigger values (EBTs) and thus allowed for allocating the wastewater effluents into four categories based on their measured toxicity, proposing a putative action plan for wastewater operators. Moreover, samples were analyzed for antibiotics and 13 antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) and one mobile genetic element (intl1) with the aim to assess the potential for antibiotic resistance.

Culture-independent methods and, in particular, quantitative PCR (qPCR), have been regarded as suitable approaches for such a purpose. However, it is arguable if these methods are sensitive enough to measure ARGs abundance at levels that may represent a risk for environmental and human health. This study aimed at demonstrating the range of values of ARGs quantification that can be expected based on currently used procedures of DNA extraction and qPCR analyses. The demonstration was based on the use of soil samples spiked with known amounts of wastewater antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) (Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter johnsonii, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa), harbouring known ARGs, and also on the calculation of expected values determined based on qPCR. The limits of quantification (LOQ) of the ARGs (vanA, qnrS, blaTEM, blaOXA, blaIMP, blaVIM) were observed to be approximately 4 log-units per gram of soil dry weight, irrespective of the type of soil tested. These values were close to the theoretical LOQ values calculated based on currently used DNA extraction methods and qPCR procedures. The observed LOQ values can be considered extremely high to perform an accurate assessment of the impacts of ARGs discharges in soils. A key message is that ARGs accumulation will be noticeable only at very high doses. The assessment of the impacts of ARGs discharges in soils, of associated risks of propagation and potential transmission to humans, must take into consideration this type of evidence, and avoid the simplistic assumption that no detection corresponds to risk absence.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "2.

The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Criteria Importance Through Intercrieria Correlation (CRITIC) were utilized equally to screen for priority control of unlisted uncalibrated pollutants. For the categorical indicators, local modifications were implemented on the toxicity, persistence, and migratory indicators, fully considering the industrial distribution, environmental traits, and pollutant sources in northeast China. The grading standards of these indicators were refined in accordance with the relevant criteria and the availability of monitoring data collected from databases and predicted data by models. 11 types of uncalibrated priority pollutants were screened out using the comprehensive evaluation method and conducting cluster analysis based on total pollutant scores.

To this end, the resistance selection and enrichment potential due to antibiotic emissions into the environment must be analysed from a life cycle perspective, for a wide range of antibiotics, and considering variations in the underlying fitness costs between different resistance mutations and genes. The aim of this study is to consistently derive fitness cost-dependent minimum selective concentrations (MSCs) from readily available bacterial inhibition data and to build MSC-based species sensitivity distributions (SSDs). These are then used to determine antibiotic-specific resistance selection concentrations predicted to promote resistance in 5% of exposed bacterial species (RSC5). Using a previously developed competition model, we provide estimated MSC10 endpoints for 2,984 antibiotic and bacterial species combinations; the largest set of modelled MSCs available to date. Based on constructed SSDs, we derive RSC5 for 128 antibiotics with four orders of magnitude difference in their 'selective pressure potential' in the environment. By comparing our RSC5 to MECs, we highlight specific environmental compartments (e.g. hospital and wastewater effluents, lakes and rivers), as well as several antibiotics (e.g. ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, enrofloxacin, and tetracycline), to be scrutinized for their potential role in resistance selection and dissemination. In addition to enabling comparative risk screening of the selective pressure potential of multiple antibiotics, our SSD-derived RSC5 provide the point of departure for calculating new life cycle-based characterization factors for antibiotics to compare mitigation strategies, thereby contributing towards a 'One-Health' approach to tackling the global antibiotic resistance crisis.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "2.

We aimed to study the suitability of this plant for phytostabilization. L. spartum was grown from both seeds and rhizomes in acid mine tailings with various fertilizer and lime treatments. Untreated soils had a solution pH of 2.9 with high concentrations of dissolved salts (Electrical Conductivity 25 dS m(-1)) and Zn (3100 mg L(-1)). Plants grown on untreated soil had high shoot metal concentrations (>4000 mg kg(-1)Zn). Liming increased the solution pH to 5.5 and reduced the dissolved salts by more than 75%, resulting in lower shoot metal accumulation. Plants grown from rhizomes accumulated less metal than those grown from seeds. Plants collected in the field had metal concentrations an order of magnitude less than plants raised in the growth chamber. These differences may be due to the higher moisture content and homogeneous nature of the soils used in the pot experiment.", "keywords": ["Anions", "Waste Products", "Oxides", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "Calcium Compounds", "Hydrogen-Ion Concentration", "15.

Three, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 42 days after inoculation, earthworm survival, body weight, cocoon production and hatching rate were measured. Seventeen metals were analysed in E. fetida tissue, bulk soil and soil solution. Soil organic carbon content, texture, pH and cation exchange capacity were also measured. Cocoon production and hatching rate were more sensitive to adverse conditions than survival or weight change. Soil properties other than metal concentration impacted toxicity. The most toxic soils were organic-poor (1-10 g C kg(-1)), sandy soils (c. 74% sand), with intermediate metal concentrations (e.g. 7150-13,100 mg Pb kg(-1), 2970-53,400 mg Zn kg(-1)). Significant relationships between soil properties and the life cycle parameters were determined. The best coefficients of correlation were generally found for texture, pH, Ag, Cd, Mg, Pb, Tl, and Zn both singularly and in multivariate regressions. Studies that use metal-amended artificial soils are not useful to predict toxicity of field multi-contaminated soils.", "keywords": ["2.
