This comprehensive 4-volume set delves into the effective utilization of microbial bioremediation and phytoremediation to cleanse pollutants from soil, thereby restoring its fertility and suitability for plant growth. Spanning across diverse eco-friendly techniques, the volumes shed light on sustainable soil management practices.

Volume 1: Fundamental Aspects and Contaminated Sites provides a foundational exploration, encompassing phytoremediation and phytotechnologies, along with the influence of environmental factors on soil remediation. It introduces soil assessment methodologies and highlights remediation strategies aimed at combating soil and agricultural degradation. Special attention is given to specific types of contaminated sites, such as soils laden with heavy metals, the microbial and phytoremediation-based removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from coal, crude oil, and gasoline, microbial bioremediation and amelioration of pesticide-contaminated soils, phytoremediation techniques for biomedical waste-polluted sites, and biomediation processes for human waste sites. Additionally, the book delves into the realm of biopesticides, presenting them as an alternative to conventional pesticides and discussing potential advancements in modern bio-pesticides.

Volume 2: Microbial Approaches and Recent Trends delves into innovative techniques and approaches to combat soil pollution. It highlights the use of rhizobacteria, archaea, cyanobacteria, and microalgae as biofertilizers and for soil bioremediation endeavors. Furthermore, the chapters explore new technologies for assessing soil bioremediation, offering in-depth coverage of the mechanisms, advantages, and challenges associated with these approaches.

By encompassing a wide range of topics and providing detailed insights, this 4-volume set serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and environmental enthusiasts seeking sustainable solutions for soil pollution remediation and management.
