Plants interact with pollutants in complex ways, serving both as indicators of environmental health and as tools for remediation. This book explores how plants respond to and mitigate pollutants, including heavy metals, air pollutants, and pesticides. It examines mechanisms of phytoremediation and their applications in restoring ecosystems, illustrating the potential and limitations of using plants in environmental management. This book is a critical resource for environmental scientists, ecologists, and researchers in plant sciences.
