“…In Quebec (Canada), several studies conducted on agricultural land, abandoned farmland or contaminated land, have shown that ‘SX61’ and ‘SX64’ ( Salix miyabeana ) are two of the most biomass productive willow cultivars that thrive in eastern Canada [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Agronomic techniques that promote growth and tolerance of fast-growing species, and increase the mobility and bioavailability of contaminants, are of particular growing interest, because they could leads to overall better remediation [ 2 , 3 ]. Accordingly, several studies focused on inoculation with bacteria and both arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi to enhance the phytoremediation efficacy of willows [ 8 , 22 , 37 , 39 ].…”
