Hostyn G, Schwartz C, Côme JM, Ouvrard S. Assessment for combined phytoremediation and biomass production on a moderately contaminated soil.

Abstract
Once previous industrial activity has ceased, brownfields are found in urban and suburban environments and managed in different ways ranging from being left untouched to total reconversion. These situations apply to large surface areas often impacted by residual diffuse pollution. Though significant and preventing any sensitive use, residual contamination does not necessarily require treatment. Moreover, conventional treatments show their technical and economic limits in these situations and gentle remediation options such as phytomanagement might appear more relevant to the management of those sites. Thus, these sites face up two major issues: managing moderate contamination levels and providing an alternative use of economic interest. This work proposes to assess a management strategy associating the phytoremediation of organic pollution along with the production of biomass for energy generation production. A 16-week controlled growth experiment was conducted on a soil substrate moderately impacted by multiple pollution (trace elements, mainly Zn and Pb, and hydrocarbons), by associating rhizodegradation with Medicago sativa or biomass production with Robinia pseudoacacia or Alnus incana in monocultures. The effect of a microbial inoculum amendment on the performances of these treatments was also evaluated. Results showed total hydrocarbons (TH), and to a lesser extent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), concentrations decreased over time, whatever the plant cover. Good biomass production yields were achieved for both tree species in comparison with the control sample, even though R. pseudoacacia seemed to perform better. Furthermore, the quality of the biomass produced was in conformity with the thresholds set by the legislation concerning its use as a renewable energy source.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of the application of mineral fertilization (F), the anionic surfactant Triton X-100 (TX100), or the inoculation with a hydrocarbooclastic bacterial consortium (BCons) on the growth of Clitoria ternatea during the phytoremediation of a Gleysol contaminated with weathered petroleum hydrocarbons (39,000 mg kg-1 WPH) collected from La Venta, Tabasco (Mexico). The experiment consisted of a completely randomized design with seven treatments and four replications each under greenhouse conditions. The application of F (biostimulation) increased plant growth and biomass production; in contrast, TX100 only favored root biomass (11%) but significantly favored WPH degradation. Bioaugmentation with BCons did not show significant effects on plant growth. Nevertheless, the combination of biostimulation with bioaugmentation (BCons + F, BCons + TX100, and BCons + F+TX100) enhanced plant growth, hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria population, and WPH degradation when compared to treatments with the single application of bioaugmentation (BCons) or biostimulation (F).

Abstract
Oil spills generate several environmental impacts and have become more common with the increase in petroleum extraction, refining, transportation, and trade. In soil, oil contamination increases water and nutrient availability and compaction, directly affecting plant growth and development. Different aspects of phytotoxicity can be observed and will vary according to the characteristics of soil and plants. Oil-contaminated soil also results in negative effects on biomass and changes in leaves and roots. Investigating the effects of oil contamination on plant growth and development can aid in the conservation of plant species and in the development of techniques such as bioremediation and biomonitoring. Thus, this review aims to discuss the main effects of oil contamination on plants, such as environmental stress and morphological, physiological, and anatomical changes, and the strategies developed by plants to survive contamination, as well as to identify plants with phytoremediation potential that can assist in removing oil from the environment.

Short Rotation Intensive Culture of Willow, Spent Mushroom Substrate and Ramial Chipped Wood for Bioremediation of a Contaminated Site Used for Land Farming Activities of a Former Petrochemical Plant. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 10:520.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the bioremediation impacts of willows grown in short rotation intensive culture (SRIC) and supplemented or not with spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and ramial chipped wood (RCW). Results did not show that SMS significantly improved either biomass production or phytoremediation efficiency. After the three growing seasons, RCW-amended S. miyabeana accumulated significantly more Zn in the shoots, and greater increases of some PAHs were found in the soil of RCW-amended plots than in the soil of the two other ground cover treatments' plots. Significantly higher Cd concentrations were found in the shoots of cultivar 'SX61'. The results suggest that 'SX61' have reduced the natural attenuation of C10-C50 that occurred in the unvegetated control plots. The presence of willows also tended to increase the total soil concentrations of PCBs. Furthermore, we found that many contaminant concentrations were subject to seasonal oscillations, showing average increases throughout the whole experimental site after a growing period, while showing significantly different variations, such as lesser increases or even decreases, after a dormant period. These observations suggest that contaminants may have leached or degraded faster in untreated conditions, and conversely to have mobilized towards trees through water flow driven by plant transpiration during growing seasons.

Abstract
Many grass species exist in the oil exploration areas of North Dakota. The objective of this study was to evaluate seed germination of 65 grass species affected by crude oil. Germination of all species was reduced by crude oil, ranging from 4.3 to 100%. Twenty-eight species were tolerant, 29 moderately tolerant, 6 moderately sensitive, and 2 sensitive. Based on the tolerance levels, the following were used to further test the dose response to crude oil: strong creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L. ssp. rubra), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), buffalograss [Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.], little bluestem [Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.) Nash], witchgrass (Panicum capillare L.), sand dropseed [Sporobolus cryptandrus (Torr.) Gray], Johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.], and smooth crabgrass [Digitaria ischaemum (Schreb.) Schreb. ex Muhl.]. The EC50 of germination and biomass was effective in ranking the 9 species. Buffalograss, sand dropseed, and orchardgrass were ranked as the most tolerant species with EC50 values of 0.1, > highest concentration tested, 0.05 m3 m-3 (P < 0.05), respectively. Smooth crabgrass and little bluestem were ranked as most sensitive with EC50 values of 0.03 and 0.04 m3 m-3 (P < 0.05), respectively. Buffalograss showed the lowest germination (10.4%) and biomass reduction (25%) (P < 0.05).

Abstract
Remediation of contaminated soils is often studied using fine-textured soils rather than low-fertility sandy soils, and few studies focus on recontamination events. This study compared aerobic and anaerobic treatments for remediation of freshly introduced used motor oil on a sandy soil previously phytoremediated and bioacclimated (microorganisms already adapted in the soil environment) with some residual total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contamination. Vegetated and unvegetated conditions to remediate anthropogenic fill containing residual TPH that was spiked with nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) were evaluated in a 90-day greenhouse pot study. Vegetated treatments used switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). The concentration of aerobic bacteria were orders of magnitude higher in vegetated treatments compared to unvegetated. Nevertheless, final TPH concentrations were low in all saturated soil treatments, and high in the presence of switchgrass. Concentrations were also low in unvegetated pots with fertilizer. Acclimated indigenous microbial communities were shown to be more effective in breaking down hydrocarbons than introducing microbes from the addition of plant treatments in sandy soils. Remediation of fresh introduced NAPLs on pre-phytoremediated and bioacclimated soil was most efficient in saturated, anaerobic environments, probably due to the already pre-established microbial associations, easily bioavailable contaminants, and optimized soil conditions for microbial establishment and survival.
