Phytoremediation Potential of Perennial Grasses provides readers with the knowledge to select specific perennial grass species according to site-specific needs. In addition, it demonstrates the potential opportunities for grass-based phytoremediation to yield phytoproducts, espe…
Dendrochemistry has proven success in reconstructing climate histories, mapping environmental change and pollution events, and dating volcanic eruptions. However, there are questions about element mobility within tree rings (translocation) and how this mobility can vary as a fun…
This book introduces readers to the main theories of phytoremediation and its application to arsenic-contaminated soils in China. The hyperaccumulation theories are introduced, including the use of hyperaccumulators to remove large amounts of arsenic without producing toxic symp…
Phytorestoration of Abandoned Mining and Oil Drilling Sites presents case studies and the latest research on the most effective methods to address the large amounts of waste materials released due to mining and oil drilling. In particular, phytoremediation is described as a nove…

Rhizodegradation uses plant root supported microorganisms to enhance degradation of immobile contaminants in soil. The rhizosphere is considered as an important region or zone that defines the extent of contaminant degradation. By utilizing the inherent luminescent property of t…
Phytoremediation has become a technology of choice for remediation of sites polluted with xenobiotics due to its low ecological impact, carbon sequestration, and lower cost. Plants have the natural ability to act as solar-powered pump-and-treat systems by taking up, metabolizing…
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can play an important role in the phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon (PH)-contaminated soil. However, little is known about the effects of AMF in combination with biostimulation via fertilization or bioaugmentation with hydrocarbonoclast…
