Etude dans les montagnes de la Sierra Nevada de quatre différentes intensités de récolte (HI-0, HI-25, HI-50 et HI-75) pour une biomasse de plantes de quatre espèces aromatiques plantées sur des versants très abrupts : lavande, santoline, sage et
Investigation of trade in medicinal and aromatic products (MAP) from the rural areas of Gorkha District in central Nepal to the wholesale markets in India over two-year period. Authors found 36 products, almost all of which were exported unprocessed

The aim of this study was to test, under field conditions, the response of runoff, soil erosion, nutrient, carbon losses, and heavy-metal transport to different plant covers, including aromatic and medicinal plants and native vegetation during two
hydrological years. The study area is located in a coastal area of the south-eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula at Almuñécar (Granada, SE Spain). The results support the recommendation of using plant covers with multiple purposes (aromatic–medicinal–culinary
Concentrations of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in river sediments: geochemical background, man's influence and environmental impact in Water pollution.
Coal-tar pavement sealant use and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contamination in urban stream sediments
This study evaluates the spatial distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban stream and pond sediments in Galloway Creek in Springfield, Missouri by focusing specifically on parking lots with and without coal-tar sealants
Identification of the sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on molecular and isotopic characterization from the Yangtze estuarine and nearby coastal areas
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The sources of PAHs in the SPMs and surface sediments in these areas were then identified using multiple source identification techniques that integrated molecular mass indices with organic compound-specific stable isotopes
This review discusses the research available on the sources and impacts of 3 heavy metals, (copper, zinc, nickel), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination on macroinvertebrate communities in streams. The literature evidence
organic matter accumulation and evolution. With time, the quality of soil organic matter changed : a decrease of hydrophobicity, an increase in aromatic compounds in the bulk soil and a decrease in phenolic functional groups in the heaviest density
