Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution is a well-known problem with a long history. Monitoring of the environment is crucial for assessing pollution and is the basis for successful environmental management.
Among the different biomonitors applied, plants are in a direct relationship with the surrounding media. Plant species can be studied in terrestrial and aquatic environments, and reveal sensitivity to a wide range of pollutants in air, water, and soil. They may assess spatial and temporal impacts, as well as local sources of contamination. Thus, plants have a huge potential as an element of environmental assessment and management.
This Special Issue of Plants is focused on the application of plants in the frame of reliable and comprehensible methods for assessing environmental pollution. It is expected to serve as a reservoir of knowledge in the field of plant monitoring to meet the needs of future environmental problems. It will also provide supervisory monitoring approaches to the implementation of remediation measures.
