About this Research Topic
This Research Topic will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in microbial-phytoremediation research, highlighting recent advances, innovative technologies, and practical applications. Synthesizing the latest findings and insights from interdisciplinary studies will facilitate a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying microbial-phytoremediation and its potential for addressing soil and sediment pollution. Moreover, it will identify key challenges and opportunities for further research, guiding future efforts aimed at optimizing and scaling up microbial-phytoremediation technologies for sustainable remediation.
This Research Topic aims to explore the mechanism, application, and prospect of microbial-phytoremediation in addressing soil and sediment pollution. Specifically, we seek contributions that address the following aspects:
- Mechanisms underlying the interactions between microorganisms, plants, and pollutants in soil and sediment remediation.
- Novel microbial-phytoremediation technologies and their effectiveness in removing various contaminants from contaminated environments.
- Factors influencing the performance and efficiency of microbial-phytoremediation, including plant-microbe interactions, environmental conditions, and pollutant characteristics.
- Case studies and field applications demonstrating the practical implementation and efficacy of microbial-phytoremediation techniques in real-world scenarios.
- Prospects and challenges in the development and application of microbial-phytoremediation for sustainable environmental management.
