Analysis of artemisia arborensces l. growth rate on contaminated substrates using a thermodynamic approach

This article examines the growth rate of Artemisia arborescens L. on diversely contaminated artificial substrates, with a view to mine site remediation, adopting a thermodynamic approach. Analysis of the experimental data on the growth of four cloned populations of the Artemisia arborescens L. species on three different artificial substrates, obtained by mixing different proportions of mineral matter and distilling slops, revealed several aspects of the phenomenon and a number of hypotheses have been advanced that warrant further investigation. The findings of the experimental work confirm that Artemisia arborescens L, grows well on contaminated substrates improved with the addition of suitable quantities of organic matter.
