Phytoremediation (from Ancient Greek φυτο (phyto), meaning "plant", and Latin remedium, meaning "restoring balance") describes the treatment of environmental problems (bioremediation) through the use of plants that mitigate the environmental problem without the need to excavate the contaminant material and dispose of it elsewhere.
Phytoremediation consists of mitigating pollutant concentrations in contaminated soils, water, or air, with plants able to contain, degrade, or eliminate metals, pesticides, solvents, explosives, crude oil and its derivatives, and various other contaminants from the media that contain them. Application[edit] Phytoremediation may be applied wherever the soil or static water environment has become polluted or is suffering ongoing chronic pollution. Plant Life.

Top 10 Amazing Plants. After millions of years of evolution and development, an enormous number of different plant variations have been created.
Of all the plants that have ever lived most are long since extinct, but still around a third of a million plant species are estimated to be surviving today. Evolution has created some particularly strange and tight examples, and here is STS’ attempt to compile a list of those that we find to be the most interesting. 10. Le silence des abeilles. Conserving Bees - International Bee Research Association. Conserving our bees by Robert Paxton The title of this article, reflects a growing awareness and interest in the demise of the world's wild bees, and the impact this may have on other wildlife, ecosystems (including agroecosystems) and the world's economy.

The pure, snow-white flowers are about an inch across, and are borne in clusters of 3-12. They are powerfully and intensely fragrant.
Money doesn't grow on trees, but there's gold in eucalyptus leaves. Eucalyptus could become a prospector's best friend: a team of researchers say they've proven once and for all that some trees' leaves contain tiny gold particles drawn from deep underground. In a study published in Nature Communications, a group led by Melvyn Lintern of Australia's national science agency CSIRO tested both lab-grown and wild eucalyptus trees for evidence of gold. Microscopic particles have been found before in leaf samples, and researchers have successfully grown plants that absorbed gold through their roots. But the researchers say these studies use gold concentrations higher than anything you'd find in the natural environment, and they rarely focus on the kind of plants that could actually be used to look for gold.
Without evidence to the contrary, it wasn't possible to rule out theories that traces of gold were just deposited along with all the other dust that's swept onto eucalyptus leaves. The team looked for particles of gold growing directly in the leaves. Difference Between Saffron and Turmeric.
