Phytoremediation – the use of plants and its associated microbial communities in the rizosphere to degrade, isolate and immobilize contaminants in soil and water – is a relatively cheap technique with aesthetic advantages free of additional impacts. However, most studies with plants to recover contaminated sites have been carried out in countries with temperate climate, where the potential of phytoremediation is limited by climate factors. In Brazil, knowledge regarding the phytoremediation potential of different species for tropical soils is still […]
