abstract = "An ever-increasing industrially polluted site is one of the main global concerns in an anthropogenic era. The key challenge is to search for a cost-effective and sustainable approach that is acceptable world level. In this direction, the phytoremediation area is gaining attention globally due to having a high potential to decontaminate polluted sites. Over 20 years of scientific progress in phytoremediation, its reliability among stakeholders and practitioners has not yet been attained, because they are not sure about its applicability and sustainability. However, valuable plant-based phytoremediation is emerging fast due to its socioeconomic, ecological, and agricultural sustainability. In this regard, aromatic plant-based phytoremediation has wide scope in the era of ever-increasing industrial polluted sites. Aromatic plants are well recognized for their societal and economic significance from the ancient to the modern era. Some aromatic grasses are famous for their work as nurse plants that are capable of restoring ecosystem services as well as driving succession in poor environments at the beginning of restoration. Therefore, Aromatic Plant-Based Phytoremediation has tremendous potential to remediate worldwide wide-ranging polluted sites. The present book is useful for researchers, ecological engineers, policymakers, stakeholders, and practitioners to select specific aromatic plant species according to the site-specificity of the polluted site. This book offers some potential opportunities in aromatic plant-based phytoremediation as phytoproducts, i.e., essential oil (bio-economy) while restoring polluted sites. It also provides knowledge and insights about the phytoremediation potential of aromatic plants. It is the first book “Aromatic Plant-Based Phytoremediation” that brings together new and established knowledge on different aspects of aromatic plants in phytoremediation, providing these facts in a single source that deals with an innovative fusion of scientific and experiential knowledge on polluted site restoration.
In addition, the changing environment also causes various biotic and abiotic stresses in aromatic plants and thus adversely affects the growth and yield of aromatic plants. So, the application of climate-resilient aromatic plants in phytoremediation programs by using agro-biotech applications is of utmost importance to lessen environmental pollution. Soil amendments, microbial inoculation, tolerant aromatic plants, and genome engineering have been used to enhance phytoremediation in harsh conditions. There is no such kind of book that is available on the market that can cover such a novel topic as “Aromatic Plant-Based Phytoremediation”. It is an up-to-date and timely contribution that delivers a holistic approach for carrying out phytoremediation with socio-economic, ecological, and agricultural profits, benefitted by simple to understand and easy-to-read format. The present book will deliver a superb basis from which scientific facts can nurture and widen the fields of aromatic plant-based phytoremediation.",
