Abstract
Phytoremediation is not a new concept. However, it is important to understand plant’s ability to remediate contaminated soil and water alone or in association with microorganisms by absorbing toxic substances, metabolizing them into useful compounds within and eventually transpiring excess of them. Native plants due to their unique characteristics are able to clean up soil and water very often in association with mycorrhizal fungi. This chapter focuses phytoremediation as eco-friendly cleaning tool, its basic strategies, role of native plants in restoring wetland habitats and limitations.
