Effect of sorbent additives to copper-contaminated soils on seed germination and early growth of grass seedlings

Możdżeń, Katarzyna Effect of sorbent additives to copper-contaminated soils on seed germination and early growth of grass seedlings / Katarzyna Możdżeń, Beata Barabasz-Krasny... [et al.]. -- Heavy metal and metalloid-contaminated soil is a serious barrier to colonization for many plant species. The problem of the elimination of toxic waste accumulated in technogenous soils in many highly transformed regions is extremely important. Hence, another attempt was made to analyze the effect of the addition of sorbents (BCH-biochar, B-bentonite, ChM-chicken manure, OS-organo-zeolitic substrate) to contaminated copper soil on the germination and early growth of Eurasian common grass species (Agrostis capillaris, A. stolonifera, Festuca rubra and Poa pratensis), which could potentially be used in recultivation. This experiment was based on the laboratory sandwich method. Standard germination indexes, morphometry and biomass analysis were used. The percentage of germinating seeds was lower in each of the soil variants and sorbents used compared to the control. Dry mass was positively stimulated by all sorbents. The response to the addition of sorbents, expressed as the electrolyte le
