environmental-remediation
Environmental remediation is the cleanup and treatment of contaminated soil, groundwater, and sediment to remove hazardous substances and pollutants. Plants play a crucial biological role in remediation efforts through phytoremediation—their ability to absorb, accumulate, and neutralize contaminants—making this a key research area for sustainable land restoration. Understanding plant physiology and contaminant tolerance enhances the development of cost-effective, plant-based approaches to environmental cleanup.
