mine-restoration

2 articles

Mine restoration is the practice of rehabilitating land contaminated by mining activities, using plants and other biological agents to stabilize soils, reduce toxic metal leaching, and rebuild functional ecosystems. For plant scientists, this field is critical because it examines how certain species tolerate or accumulate heavy metals, informing research on phytoremediation strategies and the genetic and physiological adaptations that allow plants to survive in extreme, polluted environments.
