- Abstract
Moreover, the phytotoxicity produced by heavy metals in contaminated soils may result in reduced plant species biodiversity compared to uncontaminated soils. Soil contamination is a major environmental problem worldwide, which is why control and remediation measures for contaminated soils should be carried out to prevent the spread of contamination and toxicity derived from the accumulation of pollutants in the soil. The hazard from soils contaminated by heavy metals and other potentially toxic elements depends on the risk of their toxicity, which depends on the bioavailability of the pollutant in the soil.
