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

  Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences | JBES published an article about the useability of Medicinal plants against Epilepsy. JBES published this in their January issue 2020, under volume 16, entitled " Medicinal plants used against epilepsy by the local communities of Sargodha region, Pakistan ". This research work has been developed by  Amin Shah, Sarvat Rahim, Zarqa Bashir, Asif Abbas Shah, Shoaib Shah, Shahzad Hussain, Nuzhat Rasul, Summaya Arif, Ifra Akhtar, Ihsan Ullah, and Mahmooda Hassan from the different institute of Pakistan. Get some knowledge about it. Many plants are claimed to be effective to treat epilepsy, but very little knowledge is available about such plants used by various ethnic communities in Pakistan. This study presents the first report on the ethnomedicinal knowledge among the local communities of the Sargodha region, Pakistan in this regard by using quantitative ethnobotanical approaches. 84 aboriginal households (house-to-house int
