Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of society, environmental pollution has become a global problem. Air, soil, and water sources are all at risk of being polluted. This threatens human health, other organisms, and ecosystem survival. Plants play a vital role in the natural environment, with many biological processes closely related to environmental pollution and restoration. In recent years, the use of plants to detect pollution, improve air quality, absorb and degrade harmful substances, and remediate environmental pollution has attracted more and more attention.
This Special Issue aims at publishing a collection of research contributions illustrating the recent achievements in all aspects of the development, study, and understanding of plants in connection with environmental pollution and their possible use for remediation. We hope to establish a collection of papers that will be of interest to scholars in the field. Contributions in the form of full papers, reviews, and communications about related topics are very welcome.
