Comparative heavy metal composition of coal mine soils in microphytoremediation and reclamation

Abstract

Reclamation of polluted soils in proper way actually adds economy because they can be reused with
minimal treatment. The understanding of microbial remediation combined with phytoremediation plays a
vital role in such restoration mechanisms. Coal mine soils are the most neglected soils because of their
high heavy metal content. The biotic and abiotic factors always thrive to balance the ecological niche of
microbes and there by promoting vegetation.
