“…The same substance can induce different effects in different species, and conversely, the same symptoms can arise from exposure to different substances (Baker, 1970). The most common and important symptoms observed in the plants contaminated with oil and its byproducts include the erosion of the epicuticular wax (Baker, 1970), degradation of chlorophyll (Baker, 1970;Malallah et al, 1996 and, alterations in the stomatal mechanism (Baker, 1970), reduction in photosynthesis and respiration (Baker, 1970), increase in the production of stress-related phytohormones (Larcher, 2000), accumulation of toxic substances or their byproducts in vegetal tissue (Baker, 1970), decrease in size and less production of biomass (Proffitt et al, 1995;Green et al, 1996;Kuhn et al, 1998;Brandt et al, 2006;Daniel-Kalio and Pepple, 2006;Adenipekun et al, 2008). In some cases after an oil spill, an increase in the production of biomass and in the growth and development of some species can be observed.…”

“…Alterations in the growth and production of biomass of plants in contaminated soil have been reported by several researchers (Udo and Fayemi, 1975;Malallah et al, 1996;Li et al, 1997;Chupakhina and Maslennikov, 2004;Alkio et al, 2005;Mayer et al, 2005;Merkl et al, 2005;Agbogidi et al, 2006;Peña-Castro et al, 2006;Rezende, 2006;Santos, 2006).

Germination and initial growth of Campomanesia xanthocarpa O. Berg. (Myrtaceae), in petroleum-contaminated soil and bioremediated soil

et al. 2010

In 2000 there was an oil spill at the Getúlio Vargas Refinery (REPAR) in Paraná. Nearly five years after contamination and the use of bioremediation, a study was carried out to identify the effects of the contaminated soil and the bioremediated soil on the germination and initial growth of C. xanthocarpa. The experiment was established with soil from REPAR, with three treatment groups: contaminated soil (C), bioremediated soil (B) and uncontaminated soil (U); with five repetitions of 50 seeds each. There was no significant difference in the percentage of germination and the speed of germination index. The production of total biomass (30 -60 days) and shoot biomass (60 days) was greater in the bioremediated soil compared to the other treatments. The averages for the root biomass were lower in the contaminated soil than in the bioremediated soil. The shoot length and the total length of the seedling in the contaminated soil and uncontaminated soil were lower than in the bioremediated soil.Keywords: biomass, gabiroba, hydrocarbon contamination, seedling growth. Germinação e crescimento inicial de Campomanesia xanthocarpa O. Berg. (Myrtaceae), em solo contaminado com petróleo e solo biorremediado ResumoEm 2000, ocorreu um vazamento de petróleo na área da Refinaria Getúlio Vargas (REPAR), no Paraná. Após cerca de cinco anos da contaminação e utilização do processo de biorremediação, pretendeu-se identificar os efeitos do solo contaminado e do solo biorremediado na germinação e no crescimento inicial de C. xanthocarpa. O experimento foi montado com solo da REPAR, com três tratamentos -solo contaminado (C), solo biorremediado (B), solo não contaminado (U) -e cinco repetições com 50 sementes cada. Não houve diferença significativa na porcentagem e no índice de velocidade de germinação. A produção de biomassa total (30 -60 dias) e biomassa da parte aérea (60 dias) foram maiores no tratamento biorremediado em relação aos demais tratamentos. As médias para a biomassa da raiz foram menores no solo contaminado do que no solo biorremediado. O comprimento da parte aérea e o comprimento total da plântula no solo contaminado e no não contaminado foram menores do que no biorremediado.Palavras-chave: biomassa, gabiroba, contaminação por hidrocarbonetos, crescimento de plântula.

“…Dentre as contaminações ambientais ocorridas no Brasil destacam-se a contaminação da baía de Guanabara com cerca de seis milhões de litros de petróleo em 1975 (Libreria 2004); o derramamento de 4 milhões de litros de petróleo no município Araucária (PR), em 2000 (Ambicenter 2004); o afundamento da Plataforma de petróleo P-36, no Rio de Janeiro em 2001, que lançou aproximadamente 1,3 milhões de litros de petróleo (Libreria 2004); a contaminação com 48.000 L de óleo diesel que ocorreu em Morretes (PR), em 2001 (Sefl oral 2001) e a contaminação do rio Guaecá, em São Sebastião (SP) em 2004 (Eirós 2004). Esses derramamentos geram efeitos negativos na fl ora e fauna (Muratova et al 2003) e a fl ora, geralmente, é a primeira a ser atingida (Malallah et al 1996).…”

Efeito do solo contaminado com óleo diesel na estrutura da raiz e da folha de plântulas de Sebastiania commersoniana (Euphorbiaceae) e Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae) ABSTRACTEff ect of diesel contaminated soil on root and leaf of Sebastiania commersoniana (Euphorbiaceae) and Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae)). Th e objective of this study was to evaluate whether the diesel contaminated soil alters the structure of the root and eophyll of S. commersoniana (Euphorbiaceae) and S. terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae) seedlings. For each species three treatments with contaminated soil were tested, and compared to a control of uncontaminated soil. Th e treatments diff ered by the time between contaminations and sowing. S. commersoniana was sown 60, 120 and 210 days and S. terebinthifolius 30, 90 and 180 days aft er contamination. Samples of root and eophyll were collected 30 days aft er sowing and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Seedlings of S. commersoniana and S. terebinthifolius, grown in diesel contaminated soil, had their root and eophyll anatomy modifi ed. Th e time interval between contamination and sowing interferes with the soil phytotoxicityl. When greater the time interval between contamination and sowing lower were the anatomical changes. Seedlings of S. terebinthifolius seemed more resistant to contamination than those of S. commersoniana.
