Differential effects of plant root systems on nickel, copper and silver bioavailability in contaminated soil
Nguyen, Thi Xuan Trang; Amyot, Marc; Labrecque, Michel (2017-02-28)A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of diverse plant species (four herbaceous and four woody species) on the labile pool of six metals (Ag, Cu, Pd, Zn, Ni and Se) present in their rhizosphere. After three months of cultivation, ... -
An ecological microsystem to treat waste oil contaminated soil: Using phytoremediation assisted by fungi and local compost, on a mixed-contaminant site, in a cold climate
Robichaud, Kawina; Stewart, Katherine; Labrecque, Michel; Hijri, Mohamed; Cherewyk, Jensen; Amyot, Marc (Elsevier, 2019-03-29)As a result of anthropization and industrialization, northern remote communities face issues of soil contamination by mixtures of organic and inorganic contaminants. Soil bioremediation in cold environments is particularly challenging because of slower ... -
Local fungi, willow and municipal compost effectively remediate petroleum-contaminated soil in the Canadian North
Robichaud, Kawina; Girard, Catherine; Dagher, Dimitri; Stewart, Katherine; Labrecque, Michel; Hijri, Mohamed; Amyot, Marc (Elsevier, 2018-12-15)Low energy-input alternatives based on locally available products are needed for treating petroleum-hydrocarbon spills in northern regions. We tested the efficacy of three local biological components (municipal compost, white-rot fungus: Pleurotus ...
