Miscanthus × giganteus (M. × giganteus) is a perspective plant produced on marginal and contaminated lands with biomass used for energy or bioproducts. In the current study, M. × giganteus development was tested in the diesel-contaminated soils (ranged from 250 mg kg−1 to 5000 mg kg−1) and the growth dynamic, leaves quantity, plants total area, number of harvested stems and leaves, SPAD and NPQt parameters were evaluated. Results showed a remarkable M. × giganteus growth in a selected interval of diesel-contaminated soil with sufficient harvested biomass. The amendment of soil by biochar 1 (produced from wastewater sludge) and biochar 2 (produced from a mixture of wood waste and biohumus) improved the crop’s morphological and physiological parameters. Biochar 1 stimulated the increase of the stems’ biomass, while biochar 2 increased the leaves biomass. The plants growing in the uncontaminated soil decreased the content of NO3, pH (KCl), P2O5 and increased the content of NH4. Photosynthesis parameters showed that incorporating biochar 1 and biochar 2 to the diesel-contaminated soil prolonged the plants’ vegetation, which was more potent for biochar 1. M. × giganteus utilization united with biochar amendment can be recommended to remediate diesel-contaminated land in concentration range 250–5000 mg kg−1.

Studies about Pb variability in contaminated soils, especially in the case of fallout from smelters or facilities, are few and the relevance of geostatistical technique for studying contaminated soil as well as the surface area required for investigation are unclear. Few studies have been conducted on short-range variability of trace elements in soils, and some of them have shown these elements to be randomly distributed while others pointed out the spatial dependence between sample locations. Therefore the main objective of this study is to document the short-range variability of Pb in an area contaminated by fallout, using a case study in France. Soil lead in this site arises from a history of industrial use. No other metals were detected in Pb emissions. On this site, we conducted a statistical and a geostatistical study of Pb content in soil, and of soil characteristics that may affect it. The aims of this work are (i) to separate the spatial structure due to high Pb fallout from a content and diffuse pollution, (ii) to separate the variability due to analytical measurements from ones related to spatial variations, (iii) to point out the soil characteristics correlated with Pb, (iv) to optimize sampling design for monitoring the long-term changes following remedial action. Results demonstrated that in this highly contaminated soil, fallout Pb was mainly located in the surface layer (0–0.2 m depth). The geostatistical study suggested that the study of the spatial structure may help in discriminating fallout Pb from Pb coming from diffuse pollution or geochemical content. However, the large spatial variability of Pb, partly due to microheterogeneity made the monitoring of this toxic element very difficult, and required a larger surface for sampling. Using correlation techniques to detect causations appeared not to be relevant. Therefore, other statistical techniques such as path analysis should be tested. Additionally, microanalysis, mobility and bioavailability studies, as well as lab or bench scale remediation studies should be conducted. Key words: Contaminated soils, fallout Pb, short-range variability, geostatistics

The effect of diatomite and tripoli added into the soil artificially contaminated with benzo[a]pyrene was studied. A decrease in the toxic effect of BaP on barley plants was established when diatomite and tripoli were added as ameliorants to contaminated soil. The improvement of plants grown сharacteristics on soils contaminated with BaP with the addition of diatomite and tripoli was shown up to 2-4 times compare to contaminated samples.
