Author Information Genelyn G. Madjos  from the Institute of the  Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science and Mathematics, Western Mindanao State University, Zamboanga City, Philippines Journal Name Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences | JBES Abstract Nickel miningposed a serious environmental problem due to run-offs and tailings. To address this, current techniques include excavation, chemical stabilization and soil flushing, but these methods are costly and impractical. One of the ecologically accepted treatments is phytoremediation. With the capacity of Centella asiatica (gotu kola) to thrive in moist soils with domestic effluents, this present study sought to evaluate its phytoremediation potential by employing an experimental design with three replicates of: (a

AMD has a pH of 3.0 and limited nutrients content. Therefore, before being released into the environment, it requires pH modification to deserve for growing of aquatic plants. This study aimed to determine the effect of pH on the growth of water hyacinth. AMD was collected from coal mining in Tanah Laut, South Kalimantan and limestone was taken fro
