Effect of Species Composition on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Accumulation in Urban Forest Soils of Krakow

Abstract: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most hazardous organic pollutants due to their toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic properties, wide distribution, recalcitrance and stability in the environment. The study objective is to determine the impact of the species composition of tree stands on PAH accumulation in urban forest soils of Krakow. The study compared the impact of deciduous and coniferous species on similar soils on PAH biodegradation. Basic physicochemical properties, activity of enzymes in… Show more

“…Ideally, the oxidation reaction proceeds until compounds that can enter the metabolic cycle consist of simple organic molecules. [26,97]. The ability of bacterial cells to survive pressure fluctuations in pH, salinity and temperature significantly impacts the persistence of PAH bioremediation [42,43].…”

“…According to Łyszczarz et al 15 the stand species composition plays an important role in shaping the quality and quantity of soil organic matter and soil acidification, which is reflected in the microbial activity and PAH accumulation in forest soils. Previous studies indicate that the biodegradation processes of PAHs can be influenced by the species composition of the stand 14 . Removal of PAHs is mainly regulated by the soil organic matter shaping the sorption properties 19 and by microorganisms that promote plant growth (PGPR) 8 .…”

“…The toxic level of PAH tends to increase as the structure of the aromatic ring member increases. Pyrene is one of the PAHs with a relatively high level of toxicity [2,20,21]. Tests on animals showed that pyrenes cause disturbances in several vital organs, especially the kidneys, liver, digestive organs, and can enter the metabolic system, while in marine ecosystems, exposure to pyrenes interferes with the growth of various types of fish, algae, seagrass, mollusk [7,[22][23][24][25][26].…”
