Abstract

chapters will provide valuable resources for designers looking to impart these pollutant management strategies into landscapes. Chapter 5 brings together the specific strategies and considerations outlined in the previous chapters to provide guidance on phytoremediation-integrated site design. This is clearly in the “wheelhouse” of these two landscape architects as their graphic depictions of multifunctional landscape design strategies are both comprehensible and comprehensive. This chapter is perhaps the most unique contribution Phyto contributes to the field of phyto­ remediation. It greatly expands and improves on what the Interstate Technical and Regulatory Council provided with the guidance documents PHYTO-1, PHYTO-2, and PHYTO-3, which provided guidance on how to implement phytoremediation into site management designs in a decision tree approach. Phyto adeptly navigates the difficult territory of technology transfer, which is so often fraught with misfires and mired in profiteering that well established scientific knowledge often never leaves the lab. The application of phytoremediation to address environmental contamination has seen successes over the years, even a few successful commercial ventures. However, the potential of this field has not been realized, not even close. As I am sure the readers of this publication can appreciate, reintegrating what Goethe called “Nature’s open secrets”
