Phytoextraction of mercury-contaminated soils
Abstract Mercury is a naturally occurring element that has become an extremely hazardous pollutant as a result of exceeding natural levels in the environment due to intense human activity. Considered the safest and most economical technology, phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals has been actively studied by scientists

Phytoextraction of Phosphorus‐Enriched Grassland Soils
High soil P contents in agricultural soils in the Netherlands cause excessive losses of P to surface waters. The reductions in P application rates in the present manure policy are not sufficient to reach surface water quality standards resulting from the European Water Framework Directive in 2015.
