TL;DR: It was found that root elongation provided a better evaluation of toxicity than seed germination, and heavy metal toxicity, especially available Pb, low content of nutrient, and poor physical structure were major constraints on plant establishment and colonization on the Pb/Zn mine tailings.

TL;DR: It was revealed that domestic refuse alone and the combination of domestic refuse and artificial fertilizer significantly improved the survival rates and growth of V. zizanioides and two Sesbania species, especially the combination, however, artificial fertilizer alone did not improve both the survival rate and growth performance of the plants grown on tailings.

TL;DR: There was insufficient evidence to support the hypothesis that the Cu-contaminated populations have evolved to Cu-tolerant ecotypes.

TL;DR: Metal uptake was mostly similar in both populations in seedlings grown in the same substratum, there being no clear evidence of ecotypic differentiation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for treating soil heavy metal combined pollution, where the earthworms are bred and the ramie is planted in the soil and the part of the ground is regularly harvested in the planting process of the Ramie and the underground part continuously grows so as to circularly harvest the part on the ground.
