Phytostabilization is a technique used in environmental remediation that utilizes plants to stabilize contaminated soil and prevent the spread of pollutants. This method involves planting specific plant species that are adapted to the contaminated soil and can help to reduce the mobility of contaminants through various mechanisms such as root uptake, binding to plant tissues, and promoting microbial processes that degrade pollutants. Phytostabilization is often used in areas contaminated with heavy metals, mining sites, and landfill sites, and is considered a sustainable and cost-effective solution for managing contaminated land.
