Having frequently found Agrostis castellana growing at these old mine sites, this study was designed to assess its remediation capacity for this type of setting. In an initial field study, plant specimens were collected from 4 abandoned mine sites to determine pollutant concentrations in their roots and shoots. This was followed by a 4-year bioassay in a controlled environment in which soils collected from the mines were used to set up microcosms. Maximum root concentrations of the most polluting elements present in the bioassay were 3625 mg kg−1 Zn, 2793 mg kg−1 Cu, 13042 mg kg−1 Pb, 49 mg kg−1 Cd and 957 mg kg−1 As. These concentrations represent root bioaccumulation indices of over 1 and usually >2. In contrast, indices of transfer to above-ground phytomass were always < 1, indicating this species is a good candidate for use as a phytostabilizer. However, the high metal concentrations that could reach the above-ground mass of this plant determines a need for close monitoring and avoiding the use of areas under restoration for hunting or grazing. | Descripción: | Published online: 19 Mar 2015 | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15226514.2014.1003786 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/133147 | DOI: | 10.1080/15226514.2014.1003786 | ISSN: | 1522-6514 | E-ISSN: | 1549-7879 |
