Advances in Microbe-assisted Phytoremediation of Polluted Sites provides a comprehensive overview of the use of phytoremediation to decontaminate polluted land through microbial enhanced phytoremediation including using plants, with respect to ecological and environmental science. This book discusses the potential of microbial-assisted phytoremediation of the contaminant including heavy metals, pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, etc. with some case studies as examples. Some of the key subjects covered in the book are plant-microbe interaction in contaminated ecosystems, microbe-augmented phytoremediation for improved ecosystem services and success stories on microbe-assisted phytoremediation of the contaminated sites. With increasing demand for land-space for social, industrial and agricultural use, the theoretical millions of hectares of contaminated sites around the world are a resource that are sorely needed and currently cannot be utilized. Decontamination of this land using ecologically-sound methods is paramount not only to the land use, but to prevention of toxic substances deteriorating the local ecosystems by reducing productivity and contaminating the food chain - which can eventually aggregate in food chains and pose the potential risk of non-curable diseases to humans such as cancer. As such, it is a necessary read for academics, researchers and engineers in the field of environmental and Earth science, as well as providing invaluable information to anyone in the field of pollution and contamination.
