48 records of plants. May acidify its own rhizosphere , which would facilitate absorption by solubilization of the metal [ 31 ] [ 1 ] : 19, 891, 898 [ 32 ] [ 33 ] [ 34 ] [ 42 ]
The unique plants that survive in serpentine soils have been used in the process of phytoremediation, a type of bioremediation. Since these plants developed specialized adaptations to high concentrations of heavy metals, they have been used to remove heavy metals from polluted soil. [12]

Alternatively, when very dilute, metal complexes are often innocuous. [4] This method uses plants to extract and lower the concentration of toxic heavy metals in the soil. [4] An aspirational method of decontamination of heavy metals is phytoremediation or bioremediation, but these approaches have solved few real world problems. Toxic metals ...
