Fiber Crop-Based Phytoremediation: Socio-Economic And Environmental Sustainability

Fiber Crop-Based Phytoremediation: Socio-economic and Environmental Sustainability provides a complete and informative source of information on using fibre crops for phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is gaining attention globally due to ever-increasing numbers and areas of industrially polluted sites. The major challenge is to develop new and cost-effective solutions to decontaminate polluted sites. In this regard, plant-based remediation, especially using fibre crops, is a promising and cost-effective approach for environmental remediation on a large scale due to its socio-economic and ecological sustainability. Furthermore, changing environmental conditions also cause various biotic and abiotic stresses in fibre crops and thereby negatively affect the fibre crop establishment, growth and yield. Therefore, the application of climate-resilient fibre crops in phytoremediation programs using agro-biotechnological techniques is of paramount importance. Fiber Crop-Based Phytoremediation: Socio-economic and Environmental Sustainability comprehensively covers all information on fibre crop-based phytoremediation for researchers, postgraduate students and scientists working in the field of environmental science who need the most recent and effective phytoremediation techniques. It will be specifically important to these readers who need to be able to select specific fibre crop species according to site-specificity of the contaminated site.
