Nature’s Cleanup Crew: How Plants Detoxify Soil

🌿 Nature’s Cleanup Crew: How Plants Detoxify Soil 🌍
Some plants have a unique ability to cleanse soil by absorbing heavy metals-a process known as phytoextraction! Here’s how it works:
🌱 Metal Absorption: Plants like Senna tora, Datura stramonium, and peas take up metals like lead, zinc, and iron, storing them safely in their roots and leaves.
🦠 Fungi Partnerships: Mycorrhizal fungi support plants in handling metal stress, boosting nutrient absorption and soil health.
🔹 Chelating Agents: Natural compounds like oxalic acid help plants absorb even more contaminants, making cleanup faster and more efficient.
Phytoextraction offers an eco-friendly, low-cost way to restore contaminated soils, bringing us closer to sustainable land management. 🌾
