TL;DR: Review of the literature indicates that a stressful environment results in an overproduction of proline in plants which in turn imparts stress tolerance by maintaining cell turgor or osmotic balance; stabilizing membranes thereby preventing electrolyte leakage; and bringing concentrations of reactive oxygen species within normal ranges, thus preventing oxidative burst in plants.

TL;DR: Growth chamber studies demonstrated the ability of T. officinale and Ambrosia artemisiifolia to successfully remove soil Pb and Cd during repeated croppings, and those plants that removed most Pband Cd were predominantly herbaceous species, some of which produce sufficient biomass to be practical for phytoremediation technologies.

TL;DR: A brief history of waste management regulatory development can be found in this article, where the authors present a detailed history of the development and management of the waste management industry. But, their focus is on the identification of Hazardous Waste and their management.

TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of energetic materials in soils including a discussion of their fates after contact with soil is discussed, focusing on the explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5,trinitro- 1,3-5-triazine (RDX).

TL;DR: It was showed that utilisation of selected plants accelerates removal of diesel fuel in soil and may serve as a viable, low-cost remedial technology for diesel-contaminated soils in subarctic regions.
