“…And with the increasing concentrations of As, Cd, Pb, and Zn heavy metals in the irrigation water, the accumulation of heavy residues has increased in every treatment. Moreover, this was proven by the finding of Garba et al [53] that Cyperus rotundus has an immense ability to remediate Zn, Cd, Ni and Pb metals, respectively. According to Garba et al [53], Cyperus rotundus could be utilized effectively as a phytostabilizer for Zn, Pb, and Ni.…”

“…Plant species that thrive in heavy metal-contaminated environments may be divided into three major classes based on their adaption techniques and heavy metals content: metal excluders, indicators and hyperaccumulators [52]. When it comes to phytoremediation, hyperaccumulator plants are a common option [53]. In contrast to the vast majority of plants which are hyperaccumulators store a wide range of metals and metalloids in their tissues at concentrations hundreds or thousands of times higher than the average plants [54,55].…”

“…Indicator plants are plants that may collect metals in aboveground tissues; therefore, the metal concentrations in the tissues represent the metal concentrations in the soil. However, as long as heavy metals are accumulated, this sort of plant will eventually perish [53]. According to Ashraf et al [56], C. rotundus L was considered to be a potential hyperaccumulator plant for use in upcoming phytoremediation experiments.…”

“…According to Shingadgaon and Chavan [63], the bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) of Cyperus rotundus on different heavy metals could be indicated as follows: BCF: Fe>Co>Cr>Zn>Mn>Ni>Cu>Pb>Cd and TF: Cd>Cu>Fe>Ni>Mn>Pb>Co>Zn>Cr. Garba et al [53] investigated the BCF and TF values at various concentrations of Zn, Cd, Ni, and Pb heavy metals. The study conducted by Garba et al [53] has revealed that for Zn, Cyperus rotundus could be recommended for phytostabilization of Zn in the root since its BCF values are larger than one and its TF values are less than one.…”

Growing industrialization and urbanization are seriously polluting the environment with hazardous heavy metals. Heavy metal pollution has caused major consequences on human health and the environment on a global level. Economically effective and environmentally friendly methodologies and technologies are utilized globally to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils and wastewater. Phytoremediation is one of the potential technologies for the in-site treatment of heavy metal-contaminated soil and water. Over 163 plant species with the ability of metal concentration and tolerance have been discovered in the world as possible phytoremediators. Among the plant species used for phytoremediation, Cyprus rotundus is a safe and inexpensive phytoremediation agent that has a high capacity to accumulate heavy metals in its plant parts. This review provides a general overview of the phytoremediation potential of Cyperus rotundus through reviewing relevant originally published research articles. For the study, a literature survey was conducted by using articles from top academic research databases including ScienceDirect, JSTOR, Google Scholar, and PubMed. A total number of 71 originally published articles related to phytoremediation and heavy metal phytoremediation of Cyperus rotundus were selected for the review. According to previous studies, Cyperus rotundus is capable of extracting and accumulating As, Cd, Pb, Rb, Sn, and Zn in its roots and shoots when the soil is highly polluted with the aforementioned heavy metals. Moreover, Cypreus rotundus indicate a considerable value of bioconcentration factors and translocation factors to different heavy metals, whereas it emphasizes the possible remediation of heavy metals through this plant species. Consequently, Cyperus rotundus could be identified as a possible hyperaccumulator and Phytostabilizer for most heavy metals for upcoming phytoremediation studies.

Climate change and human‐induced pollution threaten freshwater systems. In the present study, it was aimed to evaluate the macrophytes‐stressor relations and ecological quality status based on the Macrophyte Biological Index for Rivers (Indice Biologique Macrophytique en Rivière [IBMR]) index of 25 streams sampled in the spring (rainy) and autumn (dry) seasons of 2021 in Kahramanmaraş province. A total of 53 macrophyte taxa were identified, and Lycopus europaeus, Mentha longifolia, Mentha aquatica, Juncus sp., Cladophora glomerata and Carex sp. were common taxa. Canonical correspondence analysis results indicated significant effects of total phosphorus, nitrite, dissolvent oxygen, electrical conductivity, bromate and boron on the distribution of macrophytes among streams, which was supported by results of the weighted average regression analysis. The IBMR indicated that the ecological quality status varied from bad to good in the studied streams. Deterioration in the water quality of a few ecosystems in the dry season compared to the rainy season was elucidated by the IBMR, which also distinguished the ecological conditions of streams. Results highlight that macrophyte species are one of the most important bioindicators to evaluate the ecological status of streams in Kahramanmaraş province due to their sensitivity to changes in environmental conditions. All suggest that IBMR can be used to evaluate the ecological health of streams in the Mediterranean region.
