Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Phytoremediation Technologies: Ecologically Safe Strategies for the Remediation of Contaminated Water and Soil” focuses on recent developments and advances in phytoremediation research, including, but not limited to:
- The application of phytoremediation strategies for treating water and soil contaminated with metals and organic pollutants;
- Investigating the potential of symbiotic relationships between water and soil-borne microorganisms and their host plants in the remediation of contaminated water and soil;
- Genomic analysis of microorganisms associated with plants in phytoremediation projects;
- Phytoremediation for waste stabilization;
- Methods development in phytoremediation and the selection of species for phytoremediation projects.
Contributions, including experimental research and reviews, are invited from researchers working in different areas of phytoremediation.
This Special Issue aims to present the success stories and the challenges encountered in phytoremediation research, with a view to providing researchers with a platform to obtain new information and the opportunity to plan better phytoremediation projects. This will be beneficial for project managers working on phytoremediation projects, researchers in research facilities and universities, phytoremediation practitioners and environmental technologists.
Prof. Dr. Harrison Ifeanyichukwu Atagana
