Medicago Sativa Responses to PAH-Contaminated Soils Amended with Leaf Biomass: Growth and Stress Biomarker Assessment

Key Points

• Medicago sativa demonstrated altered growth patterns and stress responses in PAH-contaminated soils.
• Key metrics include significant changes in growth rate and specific biomarkers for stress assessment.
• Assessment examined growth and stress biomarkers in contaminated soils through leaf biomass addition.
• Findings highlight the potential for leaf biomass to mitigate negative effects of PAH contamination in soils.
