Riassunto

Designer Cropping Systems for Polluted Land explores the processes and techniques of making polluted land safe for planting edible and non-edible crops. The book provides readers and practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of contaminated land use through designer cropping systems. It seeks to present promising and affordable practices for transforming polluted lands while also providing an excellent basis from which scientific knowledge can grow and widen in the fields of phytoremediation-based biofortification.

Informazioni sugli autori

Dr. Vimal Chandra Pandey is an applied research scientist of phyto- and phycoremediation at Chandigarh University, India. He obtained his PhD from Dr. RML Avadh University and conducted post-doctoral research at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, India. Dr. Pandey’s research focuses on the remediation and management of polluted sites using ecologically and socio-economically valuable plants and algae. His work focuses strongly on restoring ecosystem services and developing a bio-based economy in support of the UN SDGs. Dr. Pandey is a member of the IUCN commission on Ecosystem Management and the National Academy of Sciences, India. He is the author and editor of several books, including Elsevier’s Algae and Aquatic Macrophytes in Cities, Bioremediation of Pollutants, and more.

Dr. Gordana Gajić is Senior Research Associate in the Department of Ecology, Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković,” National Institute of Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, Serbia. Her research areas are phytoremediation, ecorestoration, plant ecophysiology, and biochemistry. Dr. Gajić has published more than 30 research papers in reputed journals and contributed five book chapters.

Dr. Manhattan Lebrun received her master’s degree in Environmental Science at the University of Orleans, France, and a Ph.D. in Bioenvironmental at the University of Molise, Italy. During her Ph.D., she mainly focused on the rhizosphere area, analyzing the root physiology (root proteome profile, root oxidative stress, root exudates) and of the microbial community (sequencing, enzyme activities, community level physiological profiles). Following her postdoc research, she focused on using amendments to ameliorate the fertility of agriculture soil. Dr. Lebrun primarily studied the physiological responses of plants to drought and amendments (leaf gas exchange, proline content) and the nitrogen cycle (N2O emissions, nitrogen related enzymes). She has published over 36 research papers in reputable journals and 2 book chapters.

Dr. Pooja Mahajan is Assistant Professor, Centre for Water Sciences, Chitkara University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Chitkara University, Punjab, India. Her research focuses on Phytoremediation of contaminated sites, Waste Water Treatment, Drinking water purification, Dye Removal, Heavy Metal Removal, etc. She has published several research articles and review articles in peer –review international journal having good impact factor. Dr. Mahajan is a reviewer of several reputed national and international journals. She also credited 6 patents in her profile.
