Call for authors on phytoremediation:
I am an environmental scientist who does tech transfer and application
assessment consulting on biotechnology plants and phytoremediation. I
have been asked by Dr. Chittaranjan Kole to serve as an editor for a
Springer-Nature series on Advanced Concepts and Strategies in Plant
Science. The volume I was asked to edit is on phytoremediation. It was a
great experience writing for him in the past and you can see a sample of
a related plant sciences book at
https://books.google.com/books?isbn=3642048129/. /There are no fees to
submit for publishing; this is a good opportunity to promote your
research, publish your work presented at a conference, or put a part of
your dissertation work in print. Your work will be peer reviewed. The
proposed topics in the phytoremediation book are:
o Basic Principles of Phytoremediation
o History of Phytoremediation
o Phytoremediation using Crop plants
o Phytoremediation using Trees
o Phytoremediation using Native Plants
o Phytoremediation using Aquatic Plants
o Phytoremediation using Algae
o Phytoremediation of Metals
o Phytoremediation of Organic Pollutants
o Phytoremediation of Wastewater
o Phytoremediation of Agricultural Pollutants
o Phytoremediation of Radioactive Wastes
o Phytoremediation of Munitions
o Exploiting the Rhizosphere for Phytoremediation Enhancement
o Growing Role of Biotechnology in Phytoremediation
I am soliciting authors for the following chapters:
o Basic Principles of Phytoremediation
o History of Phytoremediation
o Phytoremediation using Crop plants
o Phytoremediation using Native Plants
o Phytoremediation using Aquatic Plants
o Phytoremediation using Algae
