DOI: 10.1007/s00128-021-03262-z
Abstract: Tannery wastewater is a significant cause of chromium (Cr) contamination in land and water. This study assessed Cr contamination caused by the discharge of tannery wastewater in the Dhaleshwari River and identified possible native plants… read more here.

Enhancing gardens as habitats for plant-associated invertebrates: should we plant native or exotic species?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biodiversity and Conservation"
DOI: 10.1007/s10531-017-1377-x
Abstract: Domestic gardens, typically consisting of a mixture of native and non-native plants, support biodiversity. The relative value of these native and non-native plants for invertebrates is largely unknown. To address this a replicated field experiment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-021-02222-7
Abstract: For insect herbivores, a critical niche requirement—possibly the critical niche requirement—is the presence of suitable host plants. Current research suggests that non-native plants are not as suitable as native plants for native herbivores, resulting in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-019-06892-3
Abstract: Several human activities such as mining, smelting, or transportations lead to trace metal pollution in soil. The presence of these pollutants can represent environmental and organism health risks. Phytoextraction can be used to remediate trace… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13762-018-1879-4
Abstract: The prevailing and strong north-westerly wind in Kuwait during summer is consistently causing a significant movement of aeolian sediment that poses serious environmental and economic threats. The average removal costs per cubic metre for aeolian… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13762-020-02859-x
Abstract: In semiarid region of Irecê, state of Bahia, Brazil, there are superficial elongated strips in form of lateritic crust derived from hydrothermal weathering of sulfide known as “gossans” with heavy metals anomalies. Thus, this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.06.029
Abstract: Abstract Understanding how introduced plants reduce food web complexity is critical to effective conservation management within human-dominated systems. In urban breeding birds, the paucity of dietary specialists suggests that a lack of food resources, such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.110816
Abstract: Mine tailings contain dangerously high levels of toxic metals which pose a constant threat to local ecosystems. Few naturally grown native plants can colonize tailings site and the existence of their root-associated microbial populations is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aobpla/plx028
Abstract: We tested the impacts of unequal night-and-day warming on seed germination and seedling growth of invasive and native plants. Most warming treatments facilitated native seed germination but not that of invasives. The invaders performed better… read more here.
