“…On account of the facts that current methods and techniques have not been sufficiently effective and the ecosystems self-purification process is long-lasting, more and more scientific studies consider phytoremediation and phytostabilization [Radziemska et al, 2019]. The relevant problems involve the proper selection of the plants and microorganisms for the peculiar degraded area and maintaining stable turf [Hawrot-Paw and Hreczuk, 2009, dos Santos and Maranho, 2018, Hussain et al, 2018]. In Poland, the grasses, i.e., Dactylis glomerata, Festuca rubra and Lolium perenne, were investigated most often [Małuszyński and Małuszyńska, 2009, Gmitrzuk et al, 2017, Dąbrowski, 2018.…”

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of soil contamination with diesel oil on the early development of three species of the Fabaceae family (Medicago lupulina L., Lotus corniculatus L., Trifolium repens L.). These species have a wide ecological range and they often occur on extensively used lawns. For these reasons, the knowledge on their tolerance to soil pollution with diesel oil can be of great importance in the creative and conservative cultivation of these plant species and their seed production for establishing the greenery of communication routes. The studies were carried out under controlled laboratory conditions. The soil substrates were composed of the loamy sand mixed with diesel oil in an amount of 2.5 g and 5.0 g per 1 kg of absolute dry mass of soil. The germination dynamics were analyzed. The measurements were conducted twice a day for 12 days after sowing. The development of seedlings was determined on the basis of the length, diameter, area and volume of the radicle. These features were determined on 20-day-old seedlings of the tested species. For the analysis of plant material, the technique of the scanned image was used in the "WinRhizo PRO 2009" software. It was proven that the tested species have various tolerances for the petrol oil in the soil and demonstrate various defense mechanisms under the stress conditions. The least changes of the seed germination rate on the soil with diesel oil against the control were indicated for L. corniculatus. The defense strategy of that species relied on the radicle development through increasing the diameter and-in consequence-the surface and the volume. M. lupulina also showed good germination capacity in the presence of diesel oil, but the radicle was shorter in comparison to the control. The germination rate of T. repens in the contaminated soil was significantly reduced. The recommendation for using not only L. corniculatus, but also M. lupulina on the contaminated areas should be taken into consideration.

“…The main role of root exudates in petroleum hydrocarbon degradation is a provision of energy and nutrients for microbial growth and activity [150]. A recent review by Hussain et al [151] demonstrated that the remediation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) is effective with the synergies of phytoremediation and bioremediation (collectively called "rhizoremediation"). However, concern emerges with convincing evidence that soil warming and excess N input to soil impose stresses on the rhizobial microbial community [152].…”

Heavy metal(loid)s and organic contaminants are two major groups of pollutants in soils. The fate and exposure of such pollutants in soil depends on their chemical properties, speciation, and soil properties. Soil properties and processes that control the toxicological aspects of pollutants include temperature, moisture, organic matter, mineral fractions, and microbial activities. These processes are vulnerable to climate change associated with global warming, including increased incidences of extreme rainfall, extended dry periods, soil erosion, and a rise in sea level. Here we explain evidence that relates to the effects of climate change-driven soil processes on the mobility, transport, and storage of pollutants in soil. The review found that changes in climate could increase human exposure to soil contaminants mainly due to processes involving soil organic carbon (SOC), surface runoff, redox state, and microbial community. However, uncertainties remain in relation to the extent of contaminant toxicity to human health, which is linked to global change drivers.

“…14,15 Chronic petrogenic contamination shows adverse effects on various components of the ecosystem. 16,17 This has demanded the research on remediation techniques for petroleum contamination. Based on the complexity of the pollutants and sites of contamination, and to avoid secondary pollutants from the treatment process, biological processes show merits over chemical and physico-chemical processes.…”
