Best Plants On The Planet For Apis Mellifera: Best Plants On The Planet For Year-Round Honeybee Habitats

Best Plants On The Planet For Apis Mellifera, Best Plants On The Planet For Year-Round Honeybee Habitats began October 2011 with the honeybee research and data I collected about honeybees, and honeybee habitats from the urban landscape of Portland, Oregon. The research data I collected became Bee Baseline Portland Project and what inspired me to write, "Hope For The Honeybee," and now this book, "Best Plants On The Planet For Apis Mellifera." During the dark and rainy days of autumn 2011 and winter 2012, I studied to be a beekeeper and the science of a full life cycle of a honeybee. Fact-based... [Read More]

Biochemical Mechanisms of Detoxification in Higher Plants: Basis of Phytoremediation

Plants play a key role in purifying the biosphere of the toxic effects of industrial activity. This book shows how systematic application of the results of investigations into the metabolism of xenobiotics (foreign, often toxic substances) in plants could make a vastly increased contribution to planetary well-being. Deep physiological knowledge gained from an accumulation of experimental data enables the great differences between the detoxifying abilities of different plants for compounds of different chemical nature to be optimally exploited. Hence planting could be far more systematically ad... [Read More]

Reed Canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) Seeds (~1,500) by Plant Good Seed: Non-GMO, Heirloom, Open Pollinated Seeds from The United States

A perennial bunchgrass (Phalaris arundinacea) used as cover crop for building soil organic matter, weed suppression, and phytoremediation (removal, degradation, or containment of contaminants in soils, sludges, sediments, surface water and groundwater) purposes. Plants typically reach around four feet height but can often grow taller under the right water and nutrient circumstances. Plant this crop judiciously; do not establish in wetlands or areas that receive excessive natural water runoff as it can become invasive. Photo credit: Rosewoman. Licensed via Creative Commons.

Nickel in Soils and Plants (Advances in Trace Elements in the Environment)

Soils with high Ni contents occur in several parts of the world, especially in areas with ultramafic rocks which cause serious environmental impacts. This book aims to extend the knowledge on the risks and problems caused by elevated Ni contents and to cover the existing gaps on issues related to various aspects and consequences of high Ni contents in soils and plants. Nickel in Soils and Plants brings together discussions on Ni as a trace element and as a micronutrient essential for plant growth and its role in plant physiology. It analyzes the biogeochemistry of Ni at the soil plant interfa... [Read More]

Environmental Biotechnologies for Bioremediation of Contaminated Lands and Soil by Microbes, Plants and Earthworms (Environmental Remediation Technologies, Regulations and Safety)

Bioremediation is a soft bioengineering technique to clean up contaminated lands and soils using microbes, plants and earthworms. It is also a technique to stabilise the eroded lands and prevent soil erosion. Microbes are adapted to thrive in 'adverse conditions' of high acidity, alkalinity, toxicity and high temperature. Under favourable conditions of growth, microbes can biodegrade and biotransform the complex hazardous organic chemicals into simpler and harmless ones. Environmentalists are viewing microbes such as yeast, bacteria, algae, diatoms and actinomycetes as an 'eco-friendly nano-fa... [Read More]

Plants Under Metal and Metalloid Stress: Responses, Tolerance and Remediation

In the industrial era, the most important potential threat to crop production is abiotic stress, including toxic metal/metalloid stress. Growing populations and rapid industrialization lead to the generation and release of huge amounts of toxic metals/metalloids into the environment, altering plant physiological processes and reducing yields. In the last few decades, there has been extensive research to elucidate the mechanisms of tolerance to metal/metalloid toxicity and ways to improve the defense system in plants. Use of exogenous photoprotectants such as osmoprotectants, plant ... [Read More]
