Mon mémoire de maîtrise a été réalisé dans le cadre du projet Génorem (www.genorem.ca), un projet multidisciplinaire qui réunit différents chercheurs de l'Université de Montréal et de l'Université McGill dans le but d'améliorer les techniques utilisées en bioremédiation. Dans le cadre de l'étude, des saules à croissance rapide (Salix sp.) ont été utilisés comme plantes modèles dans l'étude. Ainsi, 11 cultivars de saule ont été suivis afin de déterminer leur potentiel à produire un bon rendement de biomasse, à tolérer des conditions de stress sévère causé par la présence de HAPs (hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques) , BPCs (biphényles polychlorés) et d'hydrocarbures pétroliers C10-C50. L'expérimentation consistait en une plantation de saule à forte densité qui a été mise en place en 2011 sur le site d'une ancienne industrie de pétrochimie à Varennes, dans le sud du Québec. Les boutures des génotypes sélectionnés ont été plantées sur une superficie d'environ 5000 m2. Les plantes ont été suivies pendant les deux saisons de croissance suivant le recépage et une série de paramètres de croissance et de mesures physiologiques ont été récoltés (surface foliaire, taux de chlorophylle, conductance stomatique et statut nutritionnel) dans le but d'évaluer et de comparer les performances de chaque génotype sur un sol pollué. Les analyses statistiques ont démontré que le cultivar S. miyabeana (SX61) était le meilleur producteur de biomasse sur le site contaminé, tandis que S. nigra (S05) et S. acutifolia (S54) présentaient la meilleure capacité photosynthétique. S. dasyclados (SV1), S. purpurea (‘Fish Creek’) et S. caprea (S365) ont semblé particulièrement affectés par la présence de contaminants. La capacité d'établissement et la croissance de S. nigra (S05), S. eriocephala (S25) and S. purpurea x S. miyabeana (‘Millbrook’) indiquent une tolérance globale supérieure à la pollution . Cette analyse comparative des différentes réponses physiologiques des saules cultivés sur un sol contaminé pourra guider le processus de sélection de plantes et les techniques de bioremédiation dans les futurs projets de phytoremédiation.

The Upper Pleistocene sediments of the Aschenhütte sink-hole (west of Herzberg am Harz, Lower Saxony) enable one to make interesting correlations between palynological and geological results. The sequence is composed of limnic-telmatic deposits (Eemain to Lower Weichselian) and loess with paleosoils (Weichselian). Sedimentation started during the hornbeam-dominated phase of the Eemian interglacial period and continued throughout the Eemian, the Weichselian Brörup interstadial (sensu Andersen) and parts of the preceding and the following stadial phases, the Herning and the Rederstall stadials. As opposed to most of the known Eemian sites spruce was a major tree species during the hornbeam-dominated phase of the Eemian. The vegetational development during the interstadial phase does not show a period of climatic deterioration as is the case for the Brörup interstadial when considering regions with a more demanding vegetation or regions close to the natural boundaries of the tree species concerned. Pollen or seeds of Bruckenthalia and Picea omoricoides have not been found in the Aschenhütte cores. The limnic-telmatic sediments interlock with loess-paleosoils (Eemian soil and Lower Weichselian bleaching soils) at the lake shore. They are overlaid by loess paleosoils of the Stillfried-B interstadial (Hattorf soil and Lohne soil). Lake level fluctuations were determined by means of the facies distribution and isochrones as defined by pollen analysis. A relatively high stand of the lake level existed after the end of the Eemian interglacial and during the Brörup interstadial periods. In the course of the Herning stadial period the water level dropped, whereas during the Rederstall stadial phase the lake basin was covered by sediments and therefore dried up.

This paper concentrates on the Early Oligocene palaeoclimate of the southern part of Eastern and Central Europe and gives a detailed climatological analysis, combined with leaf-morphological studies and modelling of the palaeoatmospheric CO2 level using stomatal and d13 C data. Climate data are calculated using the Coexistence Approach for Kiscellian floras of the Palaeogene Basin (Hungary and Slovenia) and coeval assemblages from Central and Southeastern Europe. Potential microclimatic or habitat variations are considered using morphometric analysis of fossil leaves from Hungarian, Slovenian and Italian floras. Reconstruction of CO2 is performed by applying a recently introduced mechanistic model. Results of climate analysis indicate distinct latitudinal and longitudinal climate patterns for various variables which agree well with reconstructed palaeogeography and vegetation. Calculated climate variables in general suggest a warm and frost-free climate with low seasonal variation of temperature. A difference in temperature parameters is recorded between localities from Central and Southeastern Europe, manifested mainly in the mean temperature of the coldest month. Results of morphometric analysis suggest microclimatic or habitat difference among studied floras. Extending the scarce information available on atmospheric CO2 levels during the Oligocene, we provide data for a well-defined time-interval. Reconstructed atmospheric CO2 levels agree well with threshold values for Antarctic ice sheet growth suggested by recent modelling studies. The successful application of the mechanistic model for the reconstruction of atmospheric CO2 levels raises new possibitities for future climate inference from macro-flora studies.
