“…Microorganisms support the use of soil macronutrients by plants [Pogrzeba et al 2018]. Our ex-periment yielded high values of the activity of the tested enzymes, which confirms the effectiveness of the use of sewage sludge as an organic fertilizer in the cultivation of energy crops [Kołodziej et al 2015;Wolna-Murawka et al 2018].…”

“…According to Molas [2012, 2013] as well as Krzywy-Gawrońska [2012], the increase in the content of macroelements in energy plants is determined by the dose of sewage sludge and mineral fertilization, which was also confirmed by our study. Pogrzeba et al [2018] indicated that mineral fertilization and the addition of microorganisms increased the macroelement content in the selected energy crops, which was confirmed by us. As stated by Wierzbowska et al [2016] and Krzywy-Gawrońska [2012], increasing the doses of sewage sludge raised the contents of N, P, K, Na, Ca, and Mg in the Virginia fanpetals, which confirms that this species is very effective in the use of macronutrients from these wastes.…”

“…What is more, the addition of microorganisms to the soil had beneficial effect on the growth and physiological activity of the Virginia fanpetals, increasing, inter alia, the biomass yield [Piotrowski et al 2016]. The correlations between the activity of soil enzymes and the content and uptake of macroelements demonstrated in the experiment confirm the importance of the intensity of removing nutrients from the soil environment [Pogrzeba et al 2018;Wierzbowska et al 2016].…”

Municipal sewage sludge contains many valuable nutrients which can be used in the cultivation of energy crops. Application of large doses of sewage sludge can be a cause of environmental pollution, especially with nutrients. The multiflora rose and the Virginia fanpetals are plants with high nutritional requirements. The use of municipal sewage sludge in the cultivation of energy crops will allow recycling the nutrients from this organic waste. The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of macroelements from municipal sewage sludge by the multiflora rose var. "Jatar" (Rosa multiflora Thunb. ex Murray) and the Virginia fanpetals (Sida hermaphrodita Rusby). Four levels of sewage sludge fertilization were applied in the 6-year field experiment: 0, 10, 20, 40, 60 Mg DM sludge • ha-1. Sewage sludge was applied once before planting energy crops. Due to the low potassium content in sewage sludge, a single supplementary fertilization with 100 kg K • ha-1 in the form of 40% potassium salt (KCl) was applied on each plot. The study involved the evaluation of the yield, uptake and use by energy plants of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Na from sewage sludge. It was found that the increasing doses of sewage sludge significantly raised the multiflora rose and the Virginia fanpetals biomass yields. The yield of the Virginia fanpetals was one and a half times higher than that of the multiflora rose. The increasing doses of sewage sludge significantly raised the contents and uptake of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Na by these plants. The highest uptake of macronutrients by the multiflora rose and the Virginia fanpetals crops was determined for 60 Mg DM • ha-1 fertilization dose. The results show that the Virginia fanpetals used N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Na from the sewage sludge to a greater extent than the multiflora rose. The analyses indicate that due to the greater yields, bioaccumulation and uptake of macronutrients, Virginia fanpetals is more effective in the 'purification' of the substrate from excess nutrients that may pose a threat to the environment.

“…Only available forms of these nutrients can be taken up by plants (Tkaczyk et al 2017, Symanowicz et al 2018 in the authors' own research presumably resulted from the lower yield, and thereby from a higher 'concentration' of nutrients in the plant biomass. Other authors' studies confirm that plants with higher yields are characterized by the 'dilution effect', hence the lower content of the analyzed elements in the plant biomass can be explained (Antonkiewicz et al 2018, Pogrzeba et al 2018, Witkowicz et al 2015. The value of the concentration index (CI) indicates that reed canary grass took up Na and Ca from sewage sludge more intensely.…”

Energy crops, on account of high biomass yields, have high nutrient requirements in relation to macroelements. Municipal sewage sludge can be a potential source of micronutrients for plants with high nutrient requirements. The use of macronutrients from sewage sludge by energy crops is an alternative form of nutrient recycling from organic waste. The aim of the research was to assess the content, uptake and use of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Na from municipal sewage sludge by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) and giant miscanthus (Miscanthus × giganteus Greef et Deu). The effect of sewage sludge on the ratios between macroelements in the biomass of the tested plants was also assessed. The multi-year field experiment involved four levels of fertilization with sewage sludge at doses of 0, 10, 20, 40, 60 Mg DM·ha−1. Due to the low potassium content in this waste, supplementary potassium fertilization (100 kg K·ha−1 in the form of 40% potassium salt (KCl)) was applied once on all plots. It was established that the increasing doses of sewage sludge had a considerable effect on the increase in the content and uptake of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Na by the biomass of the tested energy crops. The research shows that, compared to giant miscanthus, reed canary grass had a higher macronutrient content. The largest amount of uptaken N, P, K, Ca and Mg was found in reed canary grass (at a dose of 40 Mg DM·ha−1), whereas Na was detected in giant miscanthus (at a dose o 20 Mg DM·ha−1). It was established that giant miscanthus, on account of its higher yielding, recovers macroelements from sewage sludge applied to soil at a dose of 10 Mg DM·ha−1 to the greatest extent. The increasing doses of sewage sludge considerably decreased the value of K:Mg, Ca:Mg, Ca:P ratios in miscanthus biomass yield. The applied doses of sewage sludge (40–60 Mg DM·ha−1) increased the value of K:Ca, Ca:P, K:Na ratios in miscanthus biomass yield.

“…It displays large biomass yield and is successfully cultivated worldwide for renewable energy production [18,19]. Comprehensive investigations into its heavy metal accumulation and its potential use for aided phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted soils, fly ash or technosols have been performed [20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. However, there is little information on its growth in the flotation tailings and its possible cultivation for their phytostabilization [27,28].…”

Mining activities produce enormous amounts of metal-contaminated waste that is the source of ecosystem pollution by metals. Owing to complex adverse environmental conditions, the surface of abandoned flotation tailings is completely devoid of vegetation cover and is therefore very susceptible to fluvial erosion, wind dispersal to neighboring ecosystems and leaching of heavy metals into ground waters. The aim of this study was to estimate the adaptive potential of Miscanthus×giganteus (Poaceae) to grow on flotation tailings without any input. In this field experiment, plants were grown for four months in flotation tailings and in unpolluted control chernozem soil. Plants accumulated and retained the major part of metals within their roots, exhibiting their very low transfer to aerial parts, which all define M.×giganteus as a phytoexcluder plant species. Plants grown in flotation tailings showed significant reduction in the net CO 2 assimilation rate and growth parameters, and there was no negative impact on pigment content, maximum quantum yield of PSII photochemistry, lipid peroxidation level and total antioxidative capacity in leaves. The obtained results indicate that despite reduced growth, M.×giganteus can be cultivated for phytoremediation of flotation tailings.Abbreviations: 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH); 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA); net CO 2 assimilation rate (A); concentration of chlorophyll (Chl); concentration of total carotenoids (Car); malondialdehyde (MDA); maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm); stomatal conductance (g s ); reactive oxygen species (ROS); transpiration rate (E) Arch Biol Sci. 2019;71(4):687-696 https://doi.
