Both phytoextraction efficiency (PEE) and metal accumulation index (MAI) are key parameters to know the ability of a plant for heavy metals removal from a contaminated soil. Are there any other indices?
I found something interesting in the paper in attachment. Authors suggest a couple of indices more that can be used for the determination of phytoremediation potential.
Dear Anand, For determination of phytoremediation potential I used Translocation Index, Bioconcentration factor (BCF) and Extraction coefficient. С,% = СHM in vegetation (mg/kg) / СHM in soil (mg/kg)*100% С -Extraction coefficient.
