Phytoremediation Potential of Perennial Grasses

The screening and conservation of the genetic resource of native and economically valuable grass-based phytoremediation is of pivotal importance to the future development of effective remediation of polluted sites. Phytoremediation Potential of Perennial Grasses provides readers with the knowledge to select specific perennial grass species according to site-specific needs. In addition, it demonstrates the potential opportunities for grass-based phytoremediation to yield phytoproducts especially biomass-based bioenergy and aromatic essential oils as green economy while remediating contaminated sites. Phytoremediation Potential of Perennial Grasses brings together recent and established knowledge on different aspects of grass-based phytoremediation, providing this information in a single source that offers a cutting-edge synthesis of scientific and experiential knowledge on polluted site restoration that is useful for both practitioners and scientists in environmental science and ecology. Provides a holistic approach to grass-based phytoremediation, covering the ecological, economic and social issues related to its managementAddresses the key role that grass-based phytoremediation plays in maintaining ecosystem services in polluted sitesIncludes strategies to mitigate costs related to phytoremediation of polluted sites INDICE: 1.
