Description

This two-volume work�is an effort to provide a common platform to environmental engineers, microbiologists, chemical scientists, plant physiologists and molecular biologists working with a common aim of sustainable solutions to varied environmental contamination issues. Chapters explore biological and non-biological strategies to minimize environmental pollution.�Highly readable entries attempt to close the knowledge gap between plant – microbial associations and environmental remediation. Volume 1 focuses on important concepts such as�biological remediation strategies to enhance soil quality at contaminated sites;�synergistic influences of tolerant plants and rhizospheric microbial strains on the remediation of pesticide contaminated soil, and�the role of plant types such as hyperaccumulator plants in the cleanup of polluted soils. Readers will discover�mechanisms and underlying natural inherent traits of various plants and microbes for tolerating, excluding, remediating, accumulating, or metabolizing a variety of pollutants.Typham this is the title: Enhancing Cleanup of Environmental Pollutants Volume 1: Biological Approaches
