Active Restoration of Degraded Contaminated Sites Using Glomeraceae

Degraded and contaminated ecosystems require specific vegetal covering after restoration or revegetation and for this purpose, selected plants and soil microbes need to be studied by their role in this process, besides environmental constraints, interactions plant-soil and its associated microorganisms are critical for plant establishment.Thus, microbial management (inoculation of bacteria and mycorrhiza) were developed in modern restoration programs.New strengths have increased worldwide since most plant species, including grasses, associated with diverse microorganisms mainly mycorrhizae, Thus, a high percentage of restored areas, which were degraded due to the increasing conventional agriculture, need to be repaired.This study shows how to manage the restoration of degraded contaminated landscapes for a successful repair of key characteristics using arbuscular mycorrhizae from Glomeraceae.
