Remediation ASSIGNMENTS
Phytoremediation: is the direct use of green plants and their associated microorganisms to stabilize or reduce contamination in soils, sludges, sediments, surface water, or ground water
-it is a natural process, use of plants to uptake, store and degrade contaminants within its tissue
Phytostabilization: plant-mediated immobilisation or binding of contami-nants into the soil matrix, thereby reducing their bioavailability
Phytodegredation: use of rhizospheric associations between plants and symbiotic soil microbes to degrade contaminants.
Phytoextraction: use plants to absorb, translocate and store toxic contaminants from a soil matrix into their root and shoot tissue
