“…The future of phytoremediation development must therefore involve the development of technologies for the utilitarian use of the biomass obtained. Remediation of polluted soil is time-consuming and, in hyperaccumulating plants, takes 2-60 years, while in nonhyperaccumulating plants, it takes 25-2800 years [230]. Phytoremediation may be a viable option for the removal of TEs contamination from environments, as the biomass created in the process could be economically used in the form of bioenergy [304].…”

“…Studies on possibilities of the rational cultivation of chemically contaminated soils in the industrial sanitary Protection zones were conducted in Poland (Poznan University of Life Sciences). Humic deluvial soils (Regosols-IUSS-WRB, 2015), brown soils (Cambisols-IUSS-WRB, 2015) and proper black-earths (Phoaeozems-IUSS-WRB, 2015) occurring in the local depressions of the eastern part of the Copper Smelting Plant in Legnica (Lower Silesia) have been studied [230]. The soils were formed from the relatively small thickness of deluvial silt sediments.…”

The pollution of soil by trace elements is a global problem. Conventional methods of soil remediation are often inapplicable, so it is necessary to search intensively for innovative and environment-friendly techniques for cleaning up ecosystems, such as phytoremediation. Basic research methods, their strengths and weaknesses, and the effects of microorganisms on metallophytes and plant endophytes resistant to trace elements (TEs) were summarised and described in this manuscript. Prospectively, bio-combined phytoremediation with microorganisms appears to be an ideal, economically viable and environmentally sound solution. The novelty of the work is the description of the potential of “green roofs” to contribute to the capture and accumulation of many metal-bearing and suspended dust and other toxic compounds resulting from anthropopressure. Attention was drawn to the great potential of using phytoremediation on less contaminated soils located along traffic routes and urban parks and green spaces. It also focused on the supportive treatments for phytoremediation using genetic engineering, sorbents, phytohormones, microbiota, microalgae or nanoparticles and highlighted the important role of energy crops in phytoremediation. Perceptions of phytoremediation on different continents are also presented, and new international perspectives are presented. Further development of phytoremediation requires much more funding and increased interdisciplinary research in this direction.

“…Five large samples of topsoil (0-25 cm) material, each 250 kg, were collected from the surroundings of the Legnica Copper Smelter (Poland), highly contaminated with copper and other heavy metals [13][14][15][16]. Sampling sites were situated at different distances from the smelter so that the level of soil contamination varied considerably (Table 1).…”

Mining is the most important economic activity in Chile; causing significant degradation of the environment in the arid regions. The Coquimbo Region has suffered serious soil and water pollution because of heavy metals from mining, particularly copper. Implementation of measures that help to minimize the environmental impact of mining tailings requires knowledge about the adaptability of vegetal species to degraded soil conditions. Our objective was to determine and compare the phytostabilization abilities of native and exotic shrub species in areas extremely damaged by mining activities in the Coquimbo Region. The survival growth, and canopy development rates of 20 species were evaluated by two experiments. The Cu quantity in stems and leaves and at three soil depths was measured. Our results indicated that Acacia saligna is the best species in accumulating heavy metals (average of 34.8 ppm in leaves and 12.3 ppm in stems, both for non-fertilized soils), while demonstrating average survival rates over 80 %. This study concludes that A. saligna is the best species for phytostabilization activities in mine tailings of the Coquimbo Region. ResumenL a minería es la actividad económica más importante de Chile, la cual causa degradación significativa en las regiones áridas. Los suelos de la Región de Coquimbo han sufrido contaminación metales pesados provenientes de la minería, particularmente cobre. La implementación de medidas, que ayuden a minimizar el impacto ambiental de los relaves mineros, requiere conocer la capacidad de adaptación de especies vegetales ante la degradación de suelos contaminados. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar y comparar la capacidad de fitoestabilización de especies vegetales nativas y exóticas en áreas degradadas por la actividad minera en la Región de Coquimbo. Las tasas de supervivencia, crecimiento y desarrollo del dosel de 20 especies fueron evaluadas en dos ensayos experimentales. La concentración de Cu se evaluó en tallos y hojas de los árboles y en diferentes profundidades del suelo. Los resultados indicaron que Acacia saligna tiene la mejor capacidad de acumulación de metales pesados (34.8 ppm en hojas y 12.3 ppm en tallos, ambos en suelos sin fertilizar), con tasas de supervivencia mayores de 80 %. Se concluye que A. saligna es la mejor especie para actividades de fitoestabilización en relaves mineros de la Región de Coquimbo.
