Phytoremediation potential of innovative cropping systems in a heavy metal contaminated site
Deadline: 05/02/2026
Scientific-Disciplinary Group
07/AGRI-02 - Agronomy And Field, Vegetable, Ornamental Cropping Systems
Description
Current phytoremediation strategies rely on a limited number of crop species, often grown undermonocropping systems, which constrains phytoremediation efficiency and increases vulnerability toclimate change impacts. Enhancing crop diversification through innovative cropping schemes canimprove the resilience of cropping systems while simultaneously increasing their phytoremediationcapacity and overall environmental sustainability. In particular, the adoption of innovative croppingsystems, such as co-cropping, can contribute to mitigating climate change effects in bothagricultural and contaminated lands while enhancing the phytoremediation potential of somehyperaccumulator species. Within this context, the EDAPHOS project adopts a holistic andinnovative land management approach aligned with the Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe”.
