Transpiration as landfill leachate phytotoxicity indicator

Does the addition of soil amendments have a positive influence on landfill soils?

“…Therefore, it can be stated that the addition of diatomite did not advance the plant growth as much as the addition of compost. to control the environment in the vicinity of landfills contributes to a more thorough, multifaceted analysis and broadens the possibilities of interpretation of research results (Białowiec 2015). It can also be an important supplement to the classic monitoring obligatory in municipal waste landfills.…”

“…It can also be an important supplement to the classic monitoring obligatory in municipal waste landfills. The conducted phytotoxicity tests showed the importance of this method, because they showed very large possibilities of shuffling the impact of pollution on organisms under the influence of pollution (Białowiec 2015). As published by Vaverková et al (2017), earth samples were taken in 2014 and 2015 from four sites on the landfill area in Zdounky (Kuchyňky).…”

“…Plants react to soil contamination with heavy metals very quickly and the use of methods based on phytotoxicity is effective in assessing the state of pollution(Białowiec 2015, Radić et al 2018). One of the important elements of bioindication research is a quick and cheap diagnosis of the impact of adverse environmental changes.…”

Stomatal Conductance Measurement for Toxicity Assessment in Zero-Effluent Constructed Wetlands: Effects of Landfill Leachate on Hydrophytes

“…Landfill leachate originating from two MSW landfills were used in the experiment: (L1) from Zakurzewo, near Grudziadz, Poland; and (L2) for Wola Pawłowska, near Ciechanów, Poland. The detailed multicomponent and initial chemical and physical properties of the landfill leachates used in the experiment have been presented by Białowiec [9]. Two emergent hydrophyte species were used: common reed ( Phragmites australis (Cav.)…”

“…Hydrophyte response differs with soil and climatic conditions, which, in turn, influence the treatment efficiency related to ET. As ET is the main mechanism of leachate treatment, this parameter may also be used as an indicator of plant activity [8,9].…”
