Environmental hazards related to Miscanthus x giganteus cultivation on heavy metal contaminated soil
Open accessAbstract
According to recent estimates reaching the target of a 20% share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the final energy balance in Poland by 2020 will result in the demand for more than 8 million tons of biomass, which, in turn, will entail the necessity of creating large-scale energy crop plantations. According to EU assumptions the most effective way to produce biomass for energy purposes is cultivation of energy crops in agricultural areas. It is particularly vital for Poland, because these areas constitute a relatively large part of the country (59%), 76% of them being used as farmlands. In Silesia, the most industrialized region of the country, 5-10% of agricultural soils are contaminated with cadmium, lead and zinc. The main objective of the presented study was to estimate the accumulation of heavy metals in the tissues of Miscanthus x giganteus grown on contaminated soils and calculate concentrations of Pb, Cd and Zn in crops. It was shown that the large intake of heavy metals by that species could cause high emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere during its improper combustion. As a side effect, winter harvesting led to the loss of even 30% of biomass. Plant residues (leaves) can be the source of pollution after decomposing and releasing metals back into the soil. Moreover, miscanthus leaves can be transferred by wind to the surrounding areas. It is very likely that ash coming from the combustion of contaminated biomass cannot be used as a fertilizer.

“The last decade witnessed an increasing number of papers demonstrating the capacity of this species to produce energy-dedicated biomass on TE-contaminated soils (Pogrzeba et al., 2013; Jeżowski et al., 2017; Zgorelec et al., 2020).”

In the citing paper
“Several studies (e.g., Pogrzeba et al., 2013; Nsanganwimana et al., 2016) assess the cultivation and growth of various species of miscanthus on heavy metal contaminated land, however, little attention is given with regards to degraded (biologically inactive) mine soils, or, plant growth and trait development.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
