Preface
Ecological restoration to predisturbance condition, or an approximation thereof, is possible. John Cairns, Jr.
Volume VI of the series Phytoremediation: Management of Environmental Contaminants provides a global selection of research results from 15 countries on several continents. Laboratory and field studies including case histories of applications to contaminated sites describe an array of basic phytoremediation approaches, mechanisms, and potential applications to clean up and monitor aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Chapters include the landscape redesign of abandoned gas stations using practical phytotechnologies, the interaction of plants and microbes to remove different contaminants, new information on soil sorption-relea
