Synopsis

Aromatic Plant-based Phytoremediation: Socio-Economic and Agricultural Sustainability provides knowledge and insights into the phytoremediation capabilities of aromatic crops. This book aims to raise awareness of aromatic crop-based phytoremediation among ecologists, environmental scientists, practitioners, policymakers, and other interested parties. Furthermore, it brings together new and existing knowledge on various aspects of aromatic crop-based phytoremediation, presenting this information in a single source that provides a cutting-edge synthesis of scientific and practical knowledge on polluted site restoration and application that is useful to both practitioners and scientists. Aromatic crop-based phytoremediation provides a solid foundation on which scientific knowledge in the field of aromatic crop-based phytoremediation can grow and expand. This book is a good and instructive text with a format that is easy to grasp and read. It employs a dense literary composition that is rich in depth, clarity, and coverage

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Dr. Valeria Ancona graduated from the University of Bari with a degree in Agricultural Science and Technology in 2004. She earned her Ph.D. in Agricultural Chemistry from the same university in 2008. She was able to solidify her knowledge and abilities in soil and water remediation technologies because to the abundance of experience she gained throughout her Ph.D. phase. She has been working at the Waters Research Institute (IRSA-CNR) in Bari since 2008, focusing on plant-assisted bioremediation as an ecological approach to multi-contaminated site recovery. She combined microbial ecology techniques for evaluating the structure and composition of soil microbial communities with analytical techniques for the assessment of contaminants (organic and inorganic) in soil and biomass to study soil decontamination processes as a result of the synergistic action between plant species and soil microorganisms. More than 80 publications have been published in national and international scientific journals (ISI), conference proceedings, and technical reports because of her research.

Dr. Madhumita Roy is a DST Women Scientist at the Bose Institute in Kolkata, where she is the Principal Investigator. Her previous work experience includes a postdoctoral fellowship at CSIR-IICB (2012-2013) and teaching at Techno India University's Biotechnology Department as an assistant professor (2014-2018). Jadavpur University awarded her a Ph.D. in Microbiology, North Bengal University a master's degree in Biotechnology, and Calcutta University a bachelor's degree in Zoology. She has ten years of expertise (excluding PhD study) in the field of microbiology, specializing in Molecular Microbiology and Environmental Microbiology. Dr. Roy served as Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator on two research projects, mentored five research scholars to doctoral degrees, and published 18 articles in SCI journals, 10 conference proceedings, and eight book chapters. Her research goal is to use bioprospecting to find bacteria that can be used for environmental cleanup or to improve human life by screening and isolating novel antimicrobials that can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria (biopharmaceutical application)

Dr. Dragana Randjelovic works as a Senior Research Associate at Institute for Technology of Nuclear and Other Mineral Raw Materials in Belgrade, Serbia. She holds B.S. and M.S. from the Faculty of Forestry in Landscape Architecture, and a Ph.D. in Multidisciplinary Sciences for Environmental Protection from the University of Belgrade. She is working on the reclamation and remediation of degraded lands using selected plants, with a focus on metal and metalloid transport and accumulation in the soil-plant system. She investigates these processes in a variety of mine wastes and other anthropogenically altered environments, such as ruderal habitats or regions affected by environmental disasters. She also investigates the phytoremediation capabilities of many plant taxa found in degraded regions, including sensitive and endangered, medicinal, invasive, and ruderal plants. She has over 60 international and national research papers on diverse environmental themes to her credit.

Dr. Vimal Chandra Pandey is an applied research scientist of phyto- and phycoremediation at Chandigarh University, India. He obtained his PhD from Dr. RML Avadh University and conducted post-doctoral research at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, India. Dr. Pandey's research focuses on the remediation and management of polluted sites using ecologically and socio-economically valuable plants and algae. His work focuses strongly on restoring ecosystem services and developing a bio-based economy in support of the UN SDGs. Dr. Pandey is a member of the IUCN commission on Ecosystem Management and the National Academy of Sciences, India. He is the author and editor of several books, including Elsevier's Algae and Aquatic Macrophytes in Cities, Bioremediation of Pollutants, and more.
