Phytoremediation: Is the direct use of living green plants for in situ, or in place,
removal, degradation, or containment of contaminants in soils, sludges,
sediments, surface water and groundwater.
Leachate: Is the liquid that drains or leaches from a landfill. It varies widely in
composition regarding the age of the landfill and the type of waste that it contains.
It usually contains both dissolved and suspended material.
- The increase of the salinity of the soil causes deficiency of calcium in the plant,
since it diminishes the absorption of water by the plant.
- In the increase of Calcium (ca), Magnesium (Mg), Potassium (K), sodium (Na),
is due to the decrease in the cation exchange capacity. The cation exchange
capacity (a cation is a positively charged ion). This is a soil characteristic that
describes the total amount of interchangeable cations that the soil can retain. A
higher ICC indicates a greater ability of the soil to absorb and retain calcium
and, therefore, a greater availability of calcium.
