Abstract

Willow is shown to be able to accumulate high levels of heavy metal ions such as cadmium and zinc. The properties of willow to be used in phytoextraction therefore have been studied. In this article, results from different studies on heavy metals and willow have been used to demonstrate the capacity and possibility of using Salix in phytoextraction.
