Phytoremediation Potential of Perennial Grasses provides readers with the knowledge to select specific perennial grass species according to site-specific needs. In addition, it demonstrates the potential opportunities for grass-based phytoremediation to yield phytoproducts, especially biomass-based bioenergy and aromatic essential oils as a green economy while in the process of remediating contaminated sites.

Phytoremediation Potential of Perennial Grasses provides readers with the knowledge to select specific perennial grass species according to site-specific needs. In addition, it demonstrates the potential opportunities for grass-based phytoremediation to yield phytoproducts, especially biomass-based bioenergy and aromatic essential oils as a green economy while in the process of remediating contaminated sites. The book brings together recent and established knowledge on different aspects of grass-based phytoremediation, providing this information in a single source that offers a cutting-edge synthesis of scientific and experiential knowledge on polluted site restoration that is useful for both practitioners and scientists in environmental science and ecology.
Dr. Singh is Professor of Environmental Science and past director of the USIC at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar (Central) University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. He completed his Post-doctoral Research from University College of Swansea, U.K. His research area is bioremediation and phytoremediation of contaminated sites. His research highlighting the transformation of waste into useful product by using biological resources deserves special attention as it is considered future technology for sustainable environmental development. Dr. Singh has published his research findings in international peer-reviewed journals. He has had 101+ research publication in reputed journals, 28 book chapters, and five books.
