The problems engendered by the conflicting imperatives of
development and ecology show no sign of ending, and every day more
locations are added to the list of landscapes poisoned by human
activity. This vital book, featuring an international set of
authors, is a key reference for researchers and environmental
managers, as well as anyone involved in the mining industry or
landscape remediation. The comprehensive coverage of current
approaches to phytoremediation begins by examining the problem. It
looks at natural and human-induced toxins, and their effects on
natural vegetation as well as agricultural crops. Particular
attention is paid to the two largest challenges to remediation --
heavy metals, and the salt stress that is impeding agricultural
productivity worldwide. The text moves on to focus on the efficacy
of different plant species in removing toxic pollutants from the
environment. Along with analysis of a number of case studies, this
section includes new and updated information on the mechanism of
toxin-tolerance in plants.
