“…Root biomass is often used as an indication of a plant's ability to stabilize soil (Morgan and Rickson 1995;Pezeshki et al 2007;Schultz et al 1995). Based on that criterion and our results, water birch, thinleaf alder, and Bebb and Geyer willow would be likely candidates for stabilization of fluvial tailing deposits.…”

“…Another important consideration for stabilization may be root structure. Shrubs with fibrous roots are often recognized as having the best phytostabilization potential (Mench et al 2006), and willows are often recognized for their role in reducing erosion of riverbanks (Morgan and Rickson 1995;Pezeshki et al 2007;Schultz et al 1995). Two of the four willows we studied had relatively low root growth, but visual observation suggested that redosier dogwood and all willows used in this study had thick, fibrous root systems.…”

“…are often used for riverbank stabilization (Morgan and Rickson 1995;Pezeshki et al 2007;Schultz et al 1995), and some willows tolerate elevated heavy metal concentrations (Cosio et al 2006;Vandecasteele et al 2005). Lead is generally not found in willow leaves and stems, but Zn, Cd, and Cu are often found in above-and belowground tissue (Bourret et al 2009;Fischerova et al 2006;Pahlsson 1989;Vandecasteele et al 2005;Vervaeke et al 2003).…”

“…Vegetation plays an important role, such as soil conservation, biological utilization, improving soil permeability. The vegetation types used in studies include perennial grasses [7][8][9][10][11], shrubs [12][13][14], forests [15,16] and combinations of those above.…”

Performance of Grass Filter Strip in Copper and Zinc Removal in Surface and Subsurface Runoff

Abstract. Three filter strips were conducted on self-designed soil bins. Taking a filter strip with no vegetation as contrast, the effectiveness of vegetation and soil conditions on heavy metals (including copper and zinc) removal efficiencies were investigated by simulated runoff experiment. The results showed that the adsorbed state is the main existing form of heavy metal. For surface runoff, most of total copper and total zinc are trapped in first 4m and it is ineffective to increase the distance beyond 4m for removal. Vegetation has no significant effect on total copper and total zinc removal, while the soil with higher content of organic matter is contributing to total Zn interception. For subsurface runoff, the removal efficiencies of total copper and total zinc can reach to above 95.38% and both vegetation and soil conditions have no significant effects. Vegetation is contributing to copper ion and zinc ion removal significantly. Soil condition is only a significant factor to zinc ion, with higher content of organic matter as a contributing factor.

“…Wood and woody biomass production on the farm using natural or planted short-rotation woody crops or coppices in the riparian zone of agroecosystems is an idea gaining acceptance worldwide [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Within this perspective, streamside plantations and agroforestry systems composed of fast-growing species, such as Populus spp.…”

This study had three main objectives: (1) to evaluate the aboveground biomass and volume yield of three unrelated hybrid poplar clones in 9 year-old riparian buffer strips located on four farms of southern Québec, Canada; (2) to compare yield data at 9 years with previous data (at 6 years); (3) to evaluate how soil fertility, measured using three different soil testing methods (soil nutrient stocks, soil nutrient concentrations, soil nutrient supply rates), is related to yield. Across the four sites, hybrid poplar productivity after 9 years ranged from 116 to 450 m ) were observed at all sites, but the productivity gap between the less fertile site and the three other sites was widened. Clone MxB-915311 was the most productive across the four sites, while clone DxN-3570 was the least productive. However, at the most productive site, clone MxB-915311 experienced severe stem and branch breakages. Independently of the soil testing method used, available soil P was always the first soil factor explaining volume yield. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2013, 5 1894
