Improving the sustainability of energy crops production through phytoremeditation of contaminated land
Phytoremediation of multi-contaminated dredged sediment with Brassica napus – from pot to field trial
Short Introductive summary
The majority of recently published works on phytoextractions involve laboratory and greenhouse studies rather than field trials. However, field trials are needed to assess the real potential and the feasibility of the whole process of phytoextraction under authentic natural conditions. Our work’s main objective was to assess Brassica napu’s potential for phytoextractions of multi-element contaminated dredged sediment in a real environment and authentic natural conditions. Based on pot tests and field tests performed at the multi-contaminated dredged sediment landfill, with sediment contaminated with Cr, Cu, Pb, and Cd, it is shown that Brassica napus can uptake and translocate significant concentrations of metals in aboveground parts. Bearing in mind that multi-contaminated soils present a challenging environment for phytoremediation due to complex interactions between metals and plants which can cause higher toxicity symptoms of metals to plants. Based on the achieved yield, different metal concentrations in harvested biomass, bioaccumulation, and transfer factors it could be concluded that Brassica napus has the potential for phytoextractions of multi-contaminated sediments.
