Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of soil structure on the bioavailability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons within aggregates of a contaminated soil

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and of phenanthrene-degrading bacteria were determined in the bulk soil and in 4 size aggregate fractions corresponding to sand, coarse silt, fine silt and clay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential tolerance to Cd and Zn of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal spores isolated from heavy metal-polluted and unpolluted soils

TL;DR: Results indicate that AM fungi from different soils may differ in their metal susceptibility and that both metal specific and unspecific tolerance mechanisms may be selected in metal polluted soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Copper Speciation and Microbial Activity in Long-Term Contaminated Soils

TL;DR: The measurement of pCu2+ to characterize the level of soil contamination and of lag period as a bioindicator of metal effects in the soil are recognized as useful tools for the evaluation of the biological quality of soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity and Decomposing Ability of Saprophytic Fungi from Temperate Forest Litter

TL;DR: The results showed that the species richness was not strongly affected by the change of the tree species, but the community compositions differed within tree species and decomposition stages, and the most important shift was found in the mixed litters from the litter bag treatment for both variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

PAH dissipation in a contaminated river sediment under oxic and anoxic conditions.

TL;DR: It is concluded that natural attenuation of PAHs in polluted river sediments under anaerobic conditions is exceedingly slow, and dredging and biodegradation on land under aerobic conditions would be required to safely remediate and restore polluted sites.
