Phytoremediation of soils contaminated with lead by arundo donax L
Sidella, S.; Cosentino, Salvatore Luciano; Fernando, A. L.; Costa, J.; Barbosa, B.Collaborative project, FP7-KBBE-2011.3.1-02; Arundo donax L. is a high yielded perennial energy crop. Its cultivation for bioenergy may generate land-use conflicts which might be avoided through the establishment of energy crops on marginal land. In this context, this work aims to study the potentiality of Arundo donax in Pb contaminated soils (450 and 900 mg Pb kg −1 , dry matter) under a low irrigation regime...
