The potential role of willow-associated bacteria in the phytoextraction of metal contaminated soil. Hasselt University
Toxic metal pollutions are detrimental for the environment as well as for human health. Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly remediation method that uses plants and their associated microorganisms to deal with polluted soil and groundwater. Although phytoremediation is a very promising technology, it still faces some obstacles. During phytoremediation of toxic metals, their bioavailability often is too low to be extracted from the soil within an ...
