Phytomanagement of Polluted Sites: Market Opportunities in Sustainable Phytoremediation

Phytomanagement of Polluted Sites brings together recent and established knowledge of different aspects of phytoremediation. It provides this information on ecological restoration of different industrially contaminated sites in one place, offering a cutting-edge synthesis of scientific and experiential knowledge on industrially contaminated site restoration, which is useful for practitioners and scientists. It provides interested groups, both non-profit and for profit, methods to manage dumpsites and other contaminated areas in such a way as to not only mitigate costs, but also potentially profit from ecological restoration. Covers successful examples of turning industrially contaminated sites into ecologically healthy revenue producersApplications of phytomanagement of dumpsites covered across countries and continentsProvides the tools for the reader to select specific plant species according to site specificity in order to apply these examples INDICE: 1. Unexpected conservation value of finely-grained industrial substrate deposits for invertebrate communities with implications for their restoration 2.
