Land is fundamental to the human life. The upper layer of land is a
non-renewable resource, and source of food. Therefore, land health
is essential to long-term food security and to promote sustainable
livelihoods. On account of urbanization, industrialization and
population growth, land pollution is one of the major issues
worldwide. As a result, land pollution is continuing across the
world, and has been linked with a wide range of potentially toxic
contaminants at rates that deteriorate land quality. Land pollution
can result either anthropogenic activities or natural activities.
The major contaminants of land pollution are metalloids, petroleum
hydrocarbon, radioactive elements, polyaromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs), Pesticide, other organic pollutants, etc. that comes from
different types of sources. In urban and peri-urban areas,
irrigation of agricultural land with polluted water is also a
reason of land pollution. Therefore, land security is an important
issue for future sustainability. Its remediation and management are
important issue worldwide to protect land quality and functions.
Land pollution means degradation of earth's surface. Polluted land
comes under the category of degraded land. Hence, the remediation
of polluted land is essential for regaining biodiversity and
ecosystems services and thereby achieving United
Nations-Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs).This fact showed
the need to develop research into land remediation. Bio-inspired
land remediation has undergone a huge development. Therefore,
Biomanagement has a lot of potential to secure upper earth's
surface through the land remediation programs targeted during the
United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030). This
book explores the remediation of land pollution that includes
Phytoremediation, Bioremediation (bacterial remediation and fungal
remediation), Vermiremediation, Biochar-based remediation and other
Bio-inspired remediation. This book will be a remarkable asset for
research scholars, environmentalists, ecological scientist,
agriculturist, practitioners, policy makers, entrepreneurs, and
other stakeholders alike.
