APPLICATIONS OF PTERIDOPHYTES IN PHYTOREMEDIATION

It is considered that ferns could present new adaptations to the action of stress factors as a result of the wide

geographical spread and the diversity of the habitats in which they vegetate, adaptations that could allow them, among

other things, hyper-accumulation of metals. This article aims at a brief overview of the results obtained in experimental

research aimed at using pteridophytes in phytoremediation.
