Assessment of Phytoremediation Ability of Prosopis juliflora and Conocarpus lancifolius on Heavy Metals Contamination of Soils in Jeddah City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia| Chapter 10 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 4

 The present study aims towards judging  phytoremediation ability of  Prosopis juliflora and Conocarpus lanceolins on burdensome metals (chromium, lead, and smaller currency in exchange for larger)  contaminations of soils at  different districts in Jeddah. Soil samples were captured from same plant sites, familiar factories, main roads, and arm roads and from a apartment (as control). Soil texture, pH, and EC and the amount of Cr, Pb, and Ni were supposed for two together plants and soils.  Results revealed that, soil makeup is mainly ammophilous (78.5-96.5%, 1.0-16.5% sediment, and 1.0-6.0 clay). The amount of sounds that are pleasant in soil of Prosopis juliflora sites were middle from two points 0.74-54.0μg/g D.wt. for Cr, 0.31-4.64 μg/g D.wt. for Pb and 1.22-24.5 μg/g D.wt. for Ni. The range of Cr, Pb and Ni in the leaves was between 0.04-13.3.0μg/g D.wt. for Cr, 0.06-20.0 μg/g D.wt. for Pb and 0.16-9.0μg/g D.wt. for Ni. For the soil of Conocarpus lanceolins, the EC categorized 'tween 0.27- 1.05 mS/cm; whereas, pH categorized from 7.29-7.55. this indicated the phytoremediation strength of these two variety in reducing burdensome details in soil and absorbing ruling class in their leaves. . Phytoremediation is an effective method to overcome the belongings of heavy metals containing Cr, Pb, and Ni that are being fascinated in plants.

Analysis of Soil Properties of Ponds in Sabang Block Areas, West Bengal, India | Chapter 17 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol.9

 The study's goal was to assess the routine application of a commercially available and naturally occurring method for improving pond soil quality. So, in the year of the studies, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were not detrimental to the carps' growth. Bacteria can be found in a variety of environments, including fresh water, soil, air, and seawater. Bacteria have different personalities based on their surroundings. As a result, periphyton bacteria in different zones have diverse characteristics. However, the study focused on soil analysis in Sabang block regions' fresh water ponds. The investigation lasted roughly a year in the Sabang block areas. In a bucket, soil was collected. This soil was gathered from five ponds in the Sabang block (Ghat pond, Dhara pond, Majari pond, Nandan pond, and Masanta pond). The ponds were divided into two categories: control and experimental. This pond was stocked with semi-dried cow dung. We used a variety of techniques in this experiment. The nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium levels in the pond bottom soil were measured using AOAC standard procedures (1980). However, after treatment, the nitrogen level in all of the experimental ponds increased dramatically. When it comes to enhancing pond productivity, phosphorus is crucial. Potassium isn't a limiting element, and it's not necessary to boost output. The generation of free hygienic fish in ponds is the future scope.

Research on Ecological and Botanical Diversity in Haloxylon Persicum Community at Al-Qassim Region in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia | Chapter 6 | Challenging Issues on Environment and Earth Science Vol. 9

 In the desert, Haloxylon persicum is a significant species. It not only aids in the stabilisation of sand dunes, but it also aids in the conservation of soil and water, as well as the slowing of desertification. The fact that the plant species is endangered, on the other hand, has far-reaching consequences. Drought-tolerant Haloxylon persicum is indigenous to northwest China, Russia, and the Middle East. The study's research areas were chosen based on how well they represented the ecological and botanical diversity of the H. persicum species in Saudi Arabia's Al-Qassim region. The researcher found nine sites in the three areas. The researcher calculated vegetative parameters such as species coverage, density, and frequency. In addition, soil testing was done in each of the three research areas. To determine the soil types, the electrical conductivity (EC) Mmoh / cm, pH, total dissolved salts (TDS) as parts per million (ppm), Sodium Ions, Potassium, and soil texture were all measured. Beginning with seedling emergence and establishment, soil variables have a significant impact on the survival and dispersion of H. persicum species, according to the findings. The researcher suggests that the plants be stopped from being overgrazed and used as the principal source of wood for charcoal to safeguard the H. persicum ecosystem. Because of its importance to the desert topography, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other countries where H. persicum is found must safeguard the species.
