“…Moreover, on the basis of BF data, most of the studied species may be regarded as hyperaccumulators for Fe, Zn, Mn, Co, Cd, Ni and Pb. Similar results were reported for P. australis [ 9 , 13 , 16 , 24 , 48 , 54 ], E. crassipes [ 9 , 24 , 27 , 63 , 65 , 66 ], T. domingensis [ 5 , 24 ], L. stolonifera [ 9 , 28 , 67 ], R. sceleratus [ 14 ], and E. stagnina [ 9 ]. Regarding C. alopecuroides , the study of [ 47 ] reported similar findings, except for Pb, where they displayed the ability of C. alopecuroides for Pb phytoextraction.…”

The current study addressed the heavy metals accumulation potentials of seven perennial aquatic macrophytes (Cyperus alopecuroides, Echinochloa stagnina, Eichhornia crassipes, Ludwigia stolonifera, Phragmites australis, Ranunculus sceleratus and Typha domingensis) and the pollution status of three drains (Amar, El-Westany and Omar-Beck) in the Nile Delta of Egypt. Nine sites at each drain were sampled for sediment and plant analyses. Concentrations of eight metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Co, Cd, Ni, and Pb) were determined in the sediment and the aboveground and belowground tissues of the selected macrophytes. Bioaccumulation factor (BF) and translocation factor (TF) were computed for each species. The sediment heavy metals concentrations of the three drains occurred in the following order: El-Westany > Amar > Omar-Beck. The concentrations of sediment heavy metals in the three drains were ordered as follows: Fe (438.45–615.17 mg kg−1) > Mn (341.22–481.09 mg kg−1) > Zn (245.08–383.19 mg kg−1) > Cu (205.41–289.56 mg kg−1) > Pb (31.49–97.73 mg kg−1) > Cd (13.97–55.99 mg kg−1) > Ni (14.36–39.34 mg kg−1) > Co (1.25–3.51 mg kg−1). The sediment exceeded the worldwide permissible ranges of Cu, Zn and Pb, but ranged within safe limits for Mn, Cd, Ni and Co. P. australis accumulated the highest concentrations of Fe, Co, Cd and Ni, while E. crassipes contained the highest concentrations of Cu, Zn, Mn, and Pb. Except for C. alopecuroides and Cu metal, the studied species had BF values greater than one for the investigated heavy metals. Nevertheless, the TFs of all species (except Cd in L. stolonifera) were less than one. Hence, the studied species are appropriate for accumulation, biomonitoring, and phytostabilization of the investigated metals.

“…It is widely distributed in Middle East countries including Syria, Turkey, Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt ( Kavak, 2014 ). Water primrose is an invasive aquatic plant, which causes risks to the aquatic ecosystems through its high growth and propagation rates under nutrient-rich conditions ( Saleh et al 2019 ). As reported by Galal et al (2012) , it is one of the commonest aquatic plants in the Nile Delta watercourses as well as in the Egyptian Northern Lakes.…”

The current work investigates the capacity of the water primrose ( Ludwigia stolinefera ) to sequester inorganic and organic nutrients in its biomass to restore eutrophic wetlands, besides its nutritive quality as fodder for animals. The nutrient elements and nutritive value of the water primrose were assessed seasonally in polluted and unpolluted watercourses. The water primrose plants’ highest biomass was attained during summer; then, it was significantly reduced till it reached its lowest value during winter. In the polluted canal, the plant root and shoot accumulated higher contents of all nutrient elements (except Na and Mg) rather than in the unpolluted Nile. They accumulated most investigated nutrients in the growing season during summer. The shoots accumulated higher contents of N, P, Ca, and Mg than the root, which accumulated higher concentrations of Na and K. Therefore, summer season is the ideal time to harvest water primrose for removing the maximum nutrients for restoring eutrophic watercourses. The aboveground tissues had the highest values of ether extract (EE) during spring and the highest crude fibers (CF) and total proteins (TP) during summer. In contrast, the belowground tissues had the lowest EE, CF, and TP during winter. In spring, autumn, and winter seasons, the protein content in the grazeable parts (shoots) of the water primrose was within the range, while in summer, it was higher than the minimum requirement for the maintenance of animals. There was a decrease in crude fibers and total proteins, while an increase in soluble carbohydrates content in the below- and above-ground tissues of water primrose under pollution stress. The total protein, lipids, and crude fibers of the aboveground parts of water primrose support this plant as a rough forage.

“…These treatments often involve the use of energy plants which are not used to produce food (Grzesik and Romanowska-Duda 2009) but also, inter alia, various varieties of mustard which belong to the group of plants known as hyperaccumulators (Baker et al 1994). Phytoremediation is increasingly used to remove trace elements from contaminated soils (Awa and Hadibarata 2020;Saleh et al 2019). A significant role is also attributed to operations associated with the use of a variety of soil-applied amendments improving the physico-chemical properties of soils, which consequently have an effect on increases in metals availability for plants (Kwiatkowska and Maciejewska 2008).…”

Aim The study was undertaken to determine the effect of amendments used in remediation of cobalt-contaminated soil on the macroelement content of all organs of spring barley (the main crop) and white mustard (the after-crop). Methods In the experiment, six blocks were selected: without amendments; with manure (bovine, granulated); clay; charcoal; zeolite; and with calcium oxide (50%). In each of the blocks, increasing doses of cobalt were applied: 0, 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 mg kg−1 of soil. Results Cobalt-contaminated soil and amendments application had a significant effect on macroelement content of all organs of both plants. Conclusions In blocks without amendments, 80 mg Co kg−1 contributed the most increase in nitrogen, sodium, and calcium contents of both organs of spring barley. Cobalt-contaminated soil increased content of all macroelements in white mustard organs. Application of amendments to soil had strong impact on phosphorus, sodium, and calcium contents of organs of both plant species, compared to the control block (without amendments). Among the amendments, manure had the greatest effect on the content of macroelements in plants. Manure increased phosphorus, potassium, and sodium contents of all organs of both plants. The optimal content of macroelements is extremely important for the growth and development of plants, especially on soils contaminated with trace elements, including cobalt.
