Why is it important?
Application of seedlings reduced nutrient contents in wastewater below the limited concentrations set by authorities.
Perspectives
We believe application of timber seedlings instead of common plants used for phytoremediation, such as reeds, not only reduces pollutions in effluent but also causes growth of sustainable plants without any troublesome of regular plantation and harvesting and production of another source of waste.
