“…This type of contamination has an adverse effect on the contents of oxygen, water, and nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) in the soil [ 18 , 19 ]. After entering the soil, these contaminants affect its permeability and porosity [ 24 ], as well as its biochemical and microbiological properties by reducing the counts of fungi and bacteria of the genera Azotobacter and Pseudomonas [ 25 ]. Additionally, these contaminants change the hydrophobicity of the soil and its water holding capacity by reducing it [ 26 , 27 ] and increasing the trace element content [ 28 , 29 ].…”

“…Moreover, they reduce the agricultural productivity of the soil [ 30 , 31 ] and cause the chemical contamination of groundwater, which limits its use and results in health and economic harm [ 19 ]. What is more, petroleum hydrocarbons have a harmful effect on soil enzyme functions and bacterial count [ 25 , 32 ]. They reduce the chlorophyll content in the leaves [ 33 ], interfere with the photosynthesis process [ 34 ], and can bind covalently to proteins, DNA, and RNA, thus disrupting the growth, metabolism, and enzymatic activity of plant cells [ 19 ].…”

The global use of petroleum hydrocarbons as raw materials and an energy source in industry results in serious environmental, health, and ecological problems. Consequently, there is growing interest in the development of technologies for the rehabilitation of contaminated areas. This study was undertaken in order to determine the effect of different phytostabilising materials (compost, bentonite, and CaO) on the trace element content in soil contaminated with unleaded petroleum 95 (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 cm3 kg−1 of soil). The doses of petroleum applied to the soil were based on the previously conducted preliminary experiment. The highest petroleum dose (10 cm3 kg−1 of soil) significantly reduced the chromium, zinc, and cobalt contents in the soil. Petroleum increased the cadmium, lead, nickel, and copper contents in the soil. The materials used for phytostabilisation (compost, bentonite, calcium oxide) had a significant effect on the trace element content in the soil. The application of mineral materials (bentonite and calcium oxide) was more effective than the application of compost, compared to the control series (without soil amendments) as they reduced the contents of cadmium, chromium, nickel, and cobalt in the soil to the greatest extent. The reduction effect of bentonite and calcium oxide on the content of these trace elements in the soil was stronger than compost.

“…Chemically, it is a mixture of saturated (e.g., paraffin, naphthenic) and aromatic (e.g., naphthalene and its derivatives, toluene, anthracene and phenanthrene) hydrocarbons [61]. Once they have entered soil, hydrocarbons, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, have an adverse impact on the soil microbiome [62,63] and yield of different plant species [64][65][66], and, in high quantities, they can inhibit the germination of plants and induce necrosis of seedlings [67]. Additionally, they limit the soil capacity for exchange of calcium, magnesium and potassium, thereby lowering the availability of macronutrients and modifying their concentrations in particular plant organs [68,69].…”

Petroleum hydrocarbons, as aggressive components of diesel oils, after migration to the land environment can alter the activity and efficiency of ecosystems. They can also be dangerous to animal and human health. Eco-friendly methods for the reclamation of affected soils is necessary to manage degraded lands. One such method is the use of ashes. The aim of this research was to determine how soil pollution with diesel oil (brand name, Eco-Diesel) affects the chemical composition of maize (Zea mays L.) and whether the application of ash from a combined heat and power plant, as well as from sewage sludge incineration, could reduce the potentially adverse impact of diesel oil on plants. The research results demonstrated that soil contamination with Eco-Diesel oil modified the content of selected macronutrients in the analyzed crop plant. Eco-Diesel oil had a negative effect on maize yield. The highest diesel oil dose in a series without neutralizing substances had a positive effect on the accumulation of most elements, except nitrogen and sodium. Soil enrichment with ash differentiated the content of macronutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus, in the aerial biomass of maize. The ashes increased the yield of maize and content of some macronutrients, mainly nitrogen but also calcium, the latter in a series where soil was treated with ash from sewage sludge thermal recycling. Both types of ash also resulted in a decrease in the plant content of phosphorus, while ash from hard coal caused a slight reduction in the content of potassium in maize. Ash of different origins can be an effective solution in the reclamation of degraded soils, which may then be used for growing energy crops.

“…Moreover, although the awareness of the varied degradation activity of microorganisms is increasing, it is not correlated with knowledge about the sensitivity of soil enzymes. Soil enzymes are recognised as early indicators of changes in the intensity of biological processes, and, importantly, the scale of soil degradation [41][42][43]. The main research hypothesis relates to the inhibitory effect of o-cresol on the biochemical and microbiological activity of the soil, also inducing changes in soil biodiversity.…”

Soil contamination with cresol is a problem of the 21st century and poses a threat to soil microorganisms, humans, animals, and plants. The lack of precise data on the potential toxicity of o-cresol in soil microbiome and biochemical activity, as well as the search for effective remediation methods, inspired the aim of this study. Soil is subjected to four levels of contamination with o-cresol: 0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 50 mg o-cresol kg−1 dry matter (DM) of soil and the following are determined: the count of eight groups of microorganisms, colony development index (CD) and ecophysiological diversity index (EP) for organotrophic bacteria, actinobacteria and fungi, and the bacterial genetic diversity. Moreover, the responses of seven soil enzymes are investigated. Perna canaliculus is a recognized biosorbent of organic pollutants. Therefore, microbial biostimulation with Perna canaliculus shells is used to eliminate the negative effect of the phenolic compound on the soil microbiome. Fungi appears to be the microorganisms most sensitive to o-cresol, while Pseudomonas sp. is the least sensitive. In o-cresol-contaminated soils, the microbiome is represented mainly by the bacteria of the Proteobacteria and Firmicutes phyla. Acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and urease can be regarded as sensitive indicators of soil disturbance. Perna canaliculus shells prove to be an effective biostimulator of soil under pressure with o-cresol.
