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

N. Bouhroum*, R. Zouaghi, B. Bensahli Laboratory of Bioresources Natural Local, Department of Biology Sciences, University of Hassiba Benbouali, Algeria  The objective of this study was to identify the relationship among body condition score (BCS) at the time around parturition, some indicators of biochemical status and the uterine involution. The BCS was measured once a month and the cows were divided into groups according to their BCS at calving and after calving. The Blood content creatinine and phosphorus was measured the day of calving, 30 days and 60 days postpartum and the Blood content creatine kinase was measured the day (d) of calving, 15 days , 30 days and 45 days postpartum. The data set was analyzed by the Student test comparison of two means using statistical program XL stat. Cows with lower BCS at calving showed a raise blood phosphorus (88.015 mg / l) and a raise blood créatinine (15.415 mg / l) and significantly (P < 0.05) differed from those detec

Khosro Estaki Oregoni   Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Boroujerd Branch, Islamic Azad University, Lorestan, Iran The aim of this study was to evaluate and validate the effects of using treated wastewater on the vegetative growth and nutrients content of three years old zard olive (Olea. europaea L.) trees. The experiments were carried out for 4 years (2009 – 2013) in random complete blocks in three treatments with six repetitions. The treatments were: subsurface drip irrigation with wastewater (T1), subsurface drip irrigation with wastewater in 15 cm depth (T2) and subsurface drip irrigation with wastewater in 30 cm depth (T3). Wastewater from the treatment plant of the Boroujerd, Iran was used. The present study was designed to determine the effect of subsurface drip irrigation with wastewater in 30 cm depth as compared to other treatments had higher growth parameters, nutrients content and had seen significant difference. Another important findin

Raymond A. Wuana1*, Phoebe A. Mbasugh2, Moses S. Iorungwa Analytical and Environmental Chemistry Division, Department of Chemistry, Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, 970001, Nigeria Department of Chemistry, Benue State University, Makurdi, 970001, Nigeria The effects of heavy metal contamination and manure amendment in soil on the growth of green Amaranthus hybridus were studied by pot experiments. A mineral soil was stressed with different doses (100 – 500 mg kg-1) of Cu and Pb using a binary mixture of the metal nitrates and/or amended with poultry or swine manure (at 10:1 soil:manure ratio). A. hybridus was sown and monitored for changes in growth rate, above-ground dry biomass and tissue Cu and Pb concentration for 49 days. A. hybridus was seemingly intolerant to metal stress as the plants exhibited yellowish appearance, stunted growth and decreased biomass at elevated metal doses in soil, though with reduced severity upon manure (especially poultry) amendme

Monthly sampling was spread over a year from January to December 2010. Two organs have been identified: the liver and muscle. Metal concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry with flame based on three parameters (sex, size and month). From this study, it appears that the hake ( M. merluccius ) bioaccumulates three metals pollutants sought, the highest c
