Nature-Based cropping systems for climate-resilient soil remediation: Enhancing phytoremediation efficiency through diversified and innovative cropping systems in heavy metal contaminated soils

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 under monocropping systems, which constrains phytoremediation efficiency and increases vulnerability to climate change impacts. Enhancing crop diversification through innovative cropping schemes can improve the resilience of cropping systems while simultaneously increasing their phytoremediation capacity and overall environmental sustainability. In particular, the adoption of innovative cropping systems, such as co-cropping, can contribute to mitigating climate change effects in both agricultural and contaminated lands while enhancing the phytoremediation potential of some hyperaccumulator species.
