Effects of ryegrass on biodegradation of hydrocarbons in soil
TLDR
The results indicate that biodegradation of hydrocarbons in the rhizosphere is stimulated by plant roots, and elimination of pollutants was accompanied by an increase in microbial numbers and activities.About:

Biodegradation aspects of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): A review
A. K. Haritash,C.P. Kaushik +1 more
TL;DR: The biodegradation of PAHs has been observed under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and the rate can be enhanced by physical/chemical pretreatment of contaminated soil.

Utilising the Synergy between Plants and Rhizosphere Microorganisms to Enhance Breakdown of Organic Pollutants in the Environment (15 pp)
TL;DR: Plant-microbial interactions in the rhizosphere offer very useful means for remediating environments contaminated with recalcitrant organic compounds and will provide a basis for improving the efficacy of biological remediations.

TL;DR: Plant and microbial degradative capacities, viewed as a continuum, have been dissected in order to identify where bottlenecks and limitations exist and to prevent their movement into wildlife food chains.

The effects of perennial ryegrass and alfalfa on microbial abundance and diversity in petroleum contaminated soil
TL;DR: It is concluded that plants altered the microbial population; these changes were plant-specific and could contribute to degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated soil.

Evaluation of the use of prairie grasses for stimulating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon treatment in soil
Wayne Aprill,Ronald C. Sims +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a research project was conducted to evaluate enhanced treatment of toxic organic chemicals in soil using deep rooted grasses Eight types of prairie grasses were evaluated in the treatment of four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a sandy loam soil.
