Site-Specific Optimization of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Mediated Phytoremediation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Anthropogenic contamination of soils with toxic metals has become a global environmental problem. Managed mycorrhization promotes phytoremediation and reuse of damaged fields. Site-specific optimization can be defined as selection of a tolerant fungal strain that is compatible to plants, remediation sites and the bioremediation method to be adapted. The high inter- and intraspecific functional diversity and non-specific association of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi provide biological materials to develop fungi host combinations for different soils and contaminants. Both ecological and human health aspects should, however, be considered while planning and designing the phytotechnologies for restoration of metal contaminated sites. Soil characteristics, metal concentration, composition of the indigenous AM fungi and plant community are some of the important factors in developing site-specific remediation technology. The research carried out during the last few years on the role of AM fungi in facilitating phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils under field environment is highlighted.
