Development of a model to select plants with optimum metal phytoextraction potential

摘要

Purpose The aim of the present study is to propose a nonlinear model which provides an indicator for the maximum phytoextraction of metals to help in the decision-making process. Research into different speqies and strategies plays an important role in the application.of phytoextraction techniques to the remediation of contaminated soil. Also, the convenience of species according to their biomass and pollutant accumulation capacities has gained important space in discussions regarding remediation strate?gies, whether to choose species with low accumulation capacities and high biomass or high accumulation capacities with low biomass.
