      abstract = {Environmental remediation technology has become a rapidly  emerging branch of science in the 21st century. This  technology is helping many branches of life sciences in  solving the problems. This book therefore presents a  holistic view of the complex and dynamic responses of our  biodiversity to environmental pollution and their  remediation strategies, in particular plant eco  physiological adaptations which vary from species to  species. The topics in this book are discussed to enlighten  adaptation strategies to circumvent the negative impacts of  polluting factors based on a large number of observations.  The growing number of findings in this field are producing  several applications in the fields of remediation of  polluting factors in the environment. The book discusses  the topics like; plant-pollutant interactions, the visible  injury in response to boron stress and its genotoxic  effects, bioremediation of vanadium, nitrogen pollution,  plants and human health, role of halophytes towards soil  restoration, nickel uptake, taming food security through  wastewater irrigation and its potentiality, deleterious  effects and remediation of secondary metabolites in  forages, biosorption of copper using waste yeast, liquorice  in the remediation of saline soils, role of duckweed in  metal accumulation, temporal variations in different  environmental parameters, urban plants and air pollution,  bioindication and phytoremediation, plants for remediation  of organic pollutants. The book also enlightens the  research gaps which need to be bridged to achieve larger  goals concerning the applications of remediation  technology.},
