Physiological response of Cistus salviifolius L. to high arsenic concentrations
Carvalho, Luisa C; Vieira, Cláudia; Abreu, Maria Manuela; Magalhães, Maria Clara F.Arsenic is a trace element found in the environment which can be particularly toxic to living organisms. However, some plant species such as those of the genus Cistus are able to grow in soils with high As concentrations and could be used in the sustainable rehabilitation of mining areas 19 through phytostabilization. In this work, the growth and the physiological response of Cistus salviifolius L. to As induce...
Effects of organic/inorganic amendments on trace elements dispersion by leachat...
Santos, Erika S.; Magalhães, Maria Clara F.; Abreu, Maria Manuela; Macías, FelipeGreenhouse pot experiments were conducted over 13 months to evaluate the effect of two amendment mixture doses (30 and 75 Mg/ha) on the geochemical dispersion of trace elements by leaching hazardous mine wastes from the São Domingos mine. Mineralogical evolution of these materials was also evaluated. Amendment mixtures containing solid wastes from agriculture (plant remains + strawberry substrate and rockwool u...
