Abstract EN
The potential of Salix viminalis L.
and Igniscum sachalinensis L.
for phytoremediation of copper- (Cu-) contaminated soils was studied under greenhouse conditions.
Approximately 5 kg of potted agricultural and sewage amended soils sampled from the top 0 to 20 cm depth in Neuruppin, Germany, was treated with CuSO4 at concentrations 0 (control), 250, 750, and 1250 mg Cu kg−1 soil and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at 1000 mg kg−1 soil, respectively.
Each plant species was grown on four replicates of each soil treatment.
Copper accumulated in aboveground tissues tends to increase with increasing soil Cu concentration and was the lowest in stem and leaf of both plant species grown on control soils.
At 750 and 1250 mg Cu kg−1 soil, Cu accumulated in stem and leaf of I.
sachalinensis increased by over 12- and 20-fold, respectively, whereas there was no vegetative growth in S.
viminalis beyond 250 mg Cu kg−1 soil.
Application of EDTA to sewage amended soils increased Cu accumulated in the stem and leaf, especially in I.
sachalinensis.
In general, I.
sachalinensis seems to have the potential to tolerate high soil Cu content and simultaneously bioaccumulate Cu in tissues and thus may have better prospects for phytoremediation.
