from former Chromium and Ferro-nickel mining area located on an
ultramafic outcrop in the north part of Albania in Kukes region. The
objective of this study was to evaluate Alyssum murale Waldst. & Kit.
behavior in infertile ultramafic areas and moreover to evaluate the
influence of Ca on nickel uptake and biomass production of Alysum
murale and Trifolium pratense under the same background of
treatment with chemical fertilizers. A greenhouse pot experiment was
undertaken in which A. murale was grown in two type of soil materials: the first topsoil of serpentine soil of Kukes (0-30 cm) noted
K1 (Kukes1) and the second subsoil taken more than 2 m depth of first
serpentine sites noted K2 (Kukes 2). Alyssum murale seeds, used in
this study were collected in the same area. The plots were treated with
N,P K, (100 mg kg-1), and 50 mg CaO kg -1soil (DM). Ten plants were
left per pot and were harvested after seven months. This study showed
significant differences between the subsoil and topsoil of ultramafic
outcrop of Kukes. The addition of Ca to the topsoil and to the subsoil of
Kukesi ultramafic material contributed to the growth of the biomass
production of Alyssum murale and Trifolium pratense as well.
Furthermore, the results show a very strong Ca influence Ni
accumulation by Alyssum murale. The soil Ni uptake from the clover
plants is not affected by soil material or the addition of Ca to the soil.
The nature of soil materials and Ca affected the biomass and in Ni
phytoextraction yield of Alyssum murale plants. Data showed that
Alyssum murale could be an alternative to cover the infertile soils. | | Keywords : | | | serpentine, hyperaccumulator, Alyssum murale, topsoil,
