Zusammenfassung: | Pot experiments with alfalfa, milkvetch root and swamp morning glory were conducted to elucidate the effect of soil vanadium (V) on plant growth and to evaluate their phytoremediation potential under V(V) exposure. Based on biomass analysis, swamp morning glory showed higher tolerance than alfalfa and milkvetch root in response to different soil V(V) levels. The accumulation of V in plants increased with the increasing soil V and the V concentration in roots was 1.95–4.31 times that in shoots. After planting, soil total V, V(V), bioavailable V and water-soluble V all reduced, and the decreases in bioavailable V and V(V) showed significant. The decreased percentage of V(V) in total V in soils demonstrated that the planting process may stimulate the mechanism of V(V) reduction to V(IV). Therefore, the three tested plants, particularly swamp morning glory can be promising phytostabilizers applied to V phytoremediation practices. |
