Phytorestoration of Abandoned Mining and Oil Drilling Sites is a comprehensive resource that delves into the latest research and effective methods for addressing the significant waste materials generated by mining and oil drilling. In particular, phytoremediation emerges as a novel, eco-friendly, and cost-effective approach for extracting toxic compounds by plants, aiding in the restoration of contaminated sites. Through plantings on these affected areas, toxic substances like heavy metals and hydrocarbons are successfully removed, leading to improvements in soil physicochemical and biological properties. This, in turn, facilitates long-term forest ecosystem rehabilitation, enhances ecosystem productivity, promotes stability, and fosters biological diversity. Additionally, phytoremediation contributes to reductions in CO2 emissions, making it an ideal solution for sites contaminated by mining and oil drilling.

The book showcases worldwide examples to illustrate the potential of phytoremediation as a viable option for remediating sites contaminated by mining and oil drilling. It emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices and the integration of phytoremediation into environmental management strategies to promote the recovery and restoration of ecosystems affected by industrial activities. By providing a comprehensive overview of phytoremediation, Phytorestoration of Abandoned Mining and Oil Drilling Sites serves as a valuable tool for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking sustainable solutions to address the challenges posed by mining and oil drilling.
