Selection of plant species with a great remediating capacity and a high biomass production is an important step for depolluting soils especially mine soils. Hyperaccumulators are used in phytoextraction for extracting metals from soil to roots and to translocate them to aerial parts. While in phytostabilization that usually requires amendment, metals are accumulated in the plant roots. The purpose of this study is to investigate Oxalis pes-caprae L. tolerance to Pb and As from Pontgibaud mine soil in France amended with compost and/or biochar. Oxalis bulbils were harvested in three sites located around Algiers: (1) an agricultural land in Reghaïa, (2) an area planted with Pines at the USTHB university campus, and (3) the polluted bank of the El Harrach river. The small and medium bulbil sizes were selected from each locality. Concerning the experimental soil, five mixtures of Pontgibaud technosol (P) with amendments compost (C) and biochar (Bc) were prepared: PC, PBc5, PBc10, PBc5 C, PBcC (w/w). The results indicate that amendments alter the soil physico-chemical characteristics and the mobility of metal(loid)s. They also reveal that As and Pb are differently distributed in plant organs. Medium bulbils especially from El Harrach river and the university campus have shown a better growth. Seedlings growth rate has been the highest in Pontgibaud amended with PC and the lowest in PBc10.
