Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10873-10881, September 2026.ABSTRACT Conventional management of heavy metal contaminated soil faces a dual challenge. Safe utilization maintains agricultural production without removing pollutants, whereas phytoremediation cleans the soil but cannot guarantee the planted crop safety.

Agronomic Approaches for Characterization, Remediation, and Monitoring of Contaminated Sites
Agronomy, 2020 With a view to conserving or improving soil ecosystem services, environment-friendly techniques, such as bio- and phytoremediation, can effectively be used for the characterization, risk assessment, and remediation of contaminated agricultural sites ...

Moss Biocrusts Regulate Heavy Metal Speciation and Mobility in Coal Mine Soils
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10979-10992, September 2026.ABSTRACT On a global scale, coal mining activities often lead to heavy metal(loid) contamination in soils of mine dump sites, posing serious ecological risks. As ecosystem “engineers,” biological soil crusts (biocrusts)—especially moss crust—have shown great potential in remediating heavy metal‐polluted soils, but their roles remain underexplored.

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.This study investigated how species richness and biotope space affect phytoextracted nickel mass. Growing monocultures and bicultures of two endemic species across a nickel stress gradient revealed that bicultures generally enhanced soil nickel bioavailability, aboveground biomass, and nickel phytoextraction compared to monocultures.
