“…Several studies indicate a peculiar tolerance of P. australis towards a number of heavy metals [5,[123][124][125][126]. In the present study, all the detected metals resulted less abundant in the temporarily flooded stands (M), apart from lead and mercury, while in groups F and D they are more or less comparable.…”

Phragmites australis (Cav.) Steud. is one of the most dominant and common species in wetland ecosystems from temperate regions worldwide [1][2][3]. It is tolerant to a broad ecological range, colonizing different habitat types, such as riverbanks, ditches, littoral zones of lakes, fens, bogs and salt-marshes. This sub-cosmopolite species can grow in oligotrophic to eutrophic conditions, but it seems to be favoured in nutrient-rich sites [4]. The common reed can also withstand different pollutants, including heavy metals. For this reason, it is often used for the treatment of industrial or agricultural wastewaters [5-9], for phytoremediation [10-12] and even for the removal of harmful microorganisms due to its allelopathic effect [13].In some areas of the world this grass is regarded as an aggressive invasive species [14][15][16][17]. The phenomenon is prominent in the USA where the Eurasian subspecies P. australis subsp. australis outcompetes the native, recently described, P. australis subsp. americanus Saltonstall, P.M. Peterson & Soreng, displacing the authoctonous populations [18]. For this reason, in N-America and Canada P. australis subsp. australis was included among the highest priority invasive species [19][20][21][22][23][24]. On the other side, reed beds represent valuable ecosystems for biodiversity conservation, although they are both usually

“…Potential candidate plant species for phytostabilization in the CMC site were examined by literature review (Johansson et al, 2005;Gonzalez and Gonzalez-Chavez, 2006;Conesa et al, 2006;Conesa et al, 2007a and b;Marques et al, 2006;Mendez and Maier, 2008;Rosario et al, 2007; Salas-Luevano et al, 2009;Ozdemir and Sagiroglu, 2000;Azaizeh, 2006;Zhao et al, 2006;Irtelli et al, 2006;Cosio et al, 2004;Lapichino et al, 2009). Because of the literature review and identification of the plant species, potential candidate plant species for phytostabilization in the study site were proposed.…”

“…According to Conesa et al (2007); Lygeum spartum L. is a native species in semiarid Mediterranean areas that grows spontaneously on acid mine tailings; thus, it can be a candidate species for revegetation in the study site. The results of the studies (Conesa et al, 2006; Ozdemir and Sagiroglu, 2000;Azaizeh, 2006) show that Phragmites australis (Cav) Trin. ex Steud and Limonium sp.…”

The Cupper Mining Company (CMC)'s site located in Lefke-Gemikonagi, Northern Cyprus has been a continuous source of highly dangerous contamination for the surrounding environment, the Lefke region, and the neighboring ecosystems and settlements. Rehabilitation and reuse possibilities of the CMC site due to its vital importance have kept its place in the agenda of Northern Cyprus. Phytostabilization appears to be a convenient and less expensive method that can immediately be used for reducing the negative impacts of the mining site on the region. The main purpose of this study is to identify potential candidate plant species, adapted to grow on polluted sites, for revegetation in the CMC site. Within this context, the method of the study can be summarized as follows: literature review for examining potential candidate plant species for pyhtostabilization in arid and semiarid regions, especially the ones suitable both for the existing ecological and present conditions of Cyprus; identification of native and/or cultural plant species survived in the heavily polluted mining site, and definition of a number of candidate plant species for the study site. The result of sampling revealed that 23 plant species thrive well in the contaminated site. As a result of the literature review and considering drought, metal, salt tolerant features of semiarid environment in the region, 5 tree, 4 shrub, and 23 herbaceous plant species were proposed for starting revegetation with the purpose of phytostabilization on the CMC mining site.

The Keban Dam and the irrigation area located at 45 km northwest of Elazig have affected the climate of the region.…”

Micro wind energy systems are evaluated in the current article for their potential utilization in urban areas. The techno-economic analysis of such energy systems is undertaken, as well as their life cycle assessment. The energy system consists of wind turbine generator as the main power source, lead-acid batteries as the medium of electricity storage, and other essential devices such as an inverter. Electrical needs for a family living under normal conditions of comfort are modelled and used within simulation of the system performance, with an average daily load of approximately 9.0 kW h. To demonstrate the use of the present model, the system's performance simulations are carried out with typical yearly wind speed data from five different sites in Turkey. The typical years are selected from a total of 6 years data for each site. A life cycle cost analysis is also carried out for a wind energy system with a 25-year life span. The system performance is analysed as a function of various parameters such as wind power density and energy production. The environmental life cycle assessment of the energy system described is also carried out to determine the impact of the energy system under evaluation. It is shown that, with the conservative European average electricity mix, the energy pay back time is 1.4 years and the CO 2 pay back time is 0.7 years for the given system. The CO 2 emission per kW h e generated is 20.5 g.
