Phytoremediation with trees

摘要: Abstract Phytoremediation is a proven technology for many organic and inorganic pollutants. Practical reasons have led trees to be neglected in laboratory studies favour of herbaceous model species. However, are gaining momentum over plants field trials because their greater effectiveness. Recent progress supports that fast-growing commonly used short-rotation coppicing naturally endowed with key advantages fight pollution. If properly managed, these can also provide important ecological services will contribute positively cost-effectiveness social perception. To fully exploit this potential, we need better understand the biochemical networks underlying pollutant metabolism complex interactions between endophytic rhizospheric communities. We examine here recent advances regarding uptake fate relevant pollutants plants, particular emphasis on results obtained trees. The prospects offered by microbial inoculation genetic transformation, two approaches successfully tested, discussed. Tree planting land restoration fits nicely new paradigm phytomanagement.
