Soil arsenic toxicity impact on the growth and C-Assimilation of Eucalyptus nitens
Ramalho, José C.; Pelica, João; Lidon, Fernando C.; Silva, Maria M. A.; Simões, Maria M.; Guerra, Mauro; Reboredo, Fernando H.The selection of adequate plants that can cope with species that can live in contaminated/ degraded and abandoned mining areas is of utmost importance, especially for environmental management and policymakers. In this framework, the use of a fast-growing forestry species, such as Eucalyptus nitens, in the recovery of arsenic (As) from artificially contaminated soils during a longterm experiment was studied.

The tolerance of Eucalyptus globulus to soil contamination with arsenic
Reboredo, Fernando Henrique; Pelica, João; Lidon, Fernando C.; Pessoa, Maria F.; Silva, Maria Manuela; Guerra, Mauro; Leitão, Roberta; Ramalho, José C.The contamination of abandoned mining areas is a problem worldwide that needs urgent attention. Phytoremediation emerges as a successful method to extract different contaminants from the soil. In this context, Eucalyptus globulus plants growing in soils artificial contaminated with arsenic (As) were used to access its phytoremediation capabilities. The effects of As on photosynthetic performance were monitored ...

Pessoa, Maria; Campos, Paula; Pais, Isabel; Feteiro, Ana; Canuto, Daniela; Simes, Manuela; Pelica, João; Pataco, Inês; Ribeiro, VâniaThe economic and financial crisis has increased the number of urban horticulture on lands close to present or past industrial areas. “Tronchuda” or the Portuguese cabbage (Brassica oleraceae L var. costata DC) was studied because of its importance in Portuguese diet. It belongs to a number of economically significant horticultural crops (Brassica species), which are also known to be nutritionally well-balanced ...
