Energy crops used to remediate heavy metal sites
European plant researchers developed and tested under field conditions a method of biomass production on heavy metal contaminated (HMC) sites that simultaneously improves soil quality and function.

Low-lying fields often flood after heavy rains, sometimes requiring those acres to be replanted or even leading to total crop losses.
