- Intervention effect Vegetated soil had significantly decreased heavy metal concentrations relative to unvegetated soil.
- Observation Lead accumulation was highest in T3 roots at 0.08.
- Observation Aluminium accumulation was highest in T3 roots at 6.88.
- Observation Copper accumulation was highest in T3 roots at 0.83.
- Observation Cadmium accumulation was highest in T3 roots at 0.02.
- Observation Zinc accumulation was highest in T2 leaves at 3,200mg/100g.
- Observation Stems had the least metal accumulation at higher concentrations.
- Observation Leaf stomatal width and chlorophyll content varied under oil pollution.
- Observation The authors judged G. arborea highly tolerant of SEO pollution.
- Recommendation The authors concluded Gmelina can serve as a phytoremediator of polluted soil.
