Conclusions
Our results evidence a beneficial effect of the amendment with
composted olive waste in combination with AM fungi on
growth of T. articulata, as well as a clear improvement in soil
properties in the phytostabilization of a mine tailing with high
levels of heavy metals and As. The olive-mill waste compost
aided G. mosseae-inoculated T. articulata plants to thrive in
contaminated soil, mainly through an improvement in both
nutrients uptake, mainly P and soil microbial function. The
improvement in growth of mycorrhizal T. articulata plants
produced by the amendment does not seem to be related to
alleviation of metal stress in plant performance since most of
them reached low levels and are far from phytotoxic. The
combined use of amendment plus AM fungi could be a
feasible strategy not only for mine tailing regeneration, but
also for the disposal of the olive-mill wastes. Caution is
needed in extrapolating these results to the field, as plant
performance might not be as great as under controlled condi-
tions despite being a woody species adapted to semiarid
climate conditions.
