Phragmites australis and Scirpus holoschoenus for metal(loid)s polluted groundwater remediation: a wetland mesocosm study with different exposure regimes.

Two wetland plants — common reed and round-headed clubrush — can clean up heavily metal-contaminated groundwater, restoring pH from dangerously acidic levels and reducing toxic metals like nickel, iron, and copper by thousands of times. The plants also produce biomass that can be harvested for bioenergy, turning a pollution problem into a resource.
