Abstract:Lead (Pb) is a common toxic heavy metal element that can be absorbed by plant roots and enter the food chain, damaging human health. Alnus cremastogyne has a wide native range, is fast growing, has a wide range of timber uses, and has rhizomatous roots that can improve planted soils. In this study, we evaluated whether Alnus cremastogyne has the potential to remediate Pb-contaminated soils through a 6-month pot experiment in soils with different Pb concentrations (0, 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg). Our results i… Show more
