Strategies Included

These strategies include using algae and a variety of aquatic and terrestrial plants. The book subsequently discusses the use of crops and native plants for phytoremediation, and how phytoremediation efforts impact the rhizosphere.

Intended Audience

After having finished the book, readers will be able to directly adapt the strategies described here for their specific purposes.
