Abstract: The Hybrid Plant-Microbial Phytoremediation System for Accelerated Heavy Metal Absorption integrates hyperaccumulator plants with tailored microbial communities to enhance the efficiency of heavy metal remediation from contaminated soils. This system accelerates metal uptake by using genetically optimized plants and metal- resistant microorganisms that increase bioavailability and assist in detoxification. The system utilizes a specially formulated growth medium, including organic matter and biochar, to support plant and microbial growth while stabilizing contaminants. Integrated sensors monitor real-time soil conditions, enabling data-driven optimization of the remediation process. The system offers a sustainable, eco-friendly solution for heavy metal contamination, promoting soil health restoration, reducing environmental risks, and enabling potential resource recovery through plant harvesting.
