Phytotechnologies are plant based technologies of remediation and containment of pollutions. Many advantages of phytotechnologies such as control of water and biogeochemical cycles, positive impact on soil characteristics and lowering the risk of erosion, contaminant immobilization and destruction, habitat restoration, low costs of implementation, and high public acceptance, decide that in more and...
This review discusses the importance of ecotones with high plant diversity which are highly effective in retaining pollutants and waste. Biogeochemical barriers play a vital role in eliminating biogenic pollutants, pesticides and heavy metals. Belts of rush plants and meadow vegetation considerably expand the accumulation capacity of water bodies and watercourses. The mechanisms responsible for the...
Harmonisation of the laws of the Member States regarding the protection of the environment is one of the tasks of the European Union. Poland joined EU in 2004 and took on various commitments for the improvement of water status. In particular, the Water Framework Directive was a major breakthrough in the assessment of aquatic ecosystems. For the classification of stratified and non-stratified lakes...
The searching for biologically active compounds produced by living organisms led to the discovery of a number of compounds with more or less complicated structure. One of the simplest molecules are monoterpenoid lactones and loliolide is the most common among them. Loliolide was found in animals (insects) and plants (flowers, shrubs, trees) both terrestrial and marine, such as algae and corals. Many...
