Water and soil contamination by petroleum compounds are important due to their toxicity and carcinogenic. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of biochar and compost on phytoremediation of heavy metal and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) by Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Willd.  In this study, one-year old Z. spina-christi seedlings were selected. Here,  0, 1 and 2 percent of biochar and compost were used to evaluate the phytoremediation. The experiment were performed in a totally randomized block design with three replications. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (Variance Analysis) and Duncan Test. The results indicated a significant difference on the effect of biochar and compost on phytoremediation ability of Z. spina-christi. The largest and the smallest values of soil TPH belonged to the control and two percent compost respectively. Concentration of nickel in soil was the smallest in a one-percent biochar compared to the other treatments while the largest value of nickel belonged to the control. Furthermore, the least and the highest values of vanadium belonged to one percent compost and control respectively. The results also reflected the importance of soil biochar and compost to improve Z. spina-christi phytoremediation of petroleum contaminated soils.
