Description	The transformation and biodegradation of organic contaminants in soils with plants occur in plants as well as in soil. Microorganisms have the ability to biodegrade many compounds and microbial populations are larger when plants are present because of root exudates. In this chapter, petroleum compounds, explosives, solvents, pesticides, and persistent organic pollutants are included. Miscanthus, trees, and many other plants have important phytoremediation applications to organic contaminants. Phytoremediation studies with Miscanthus show that tolerance to organic contaminants is good and that Miscanthus is an effective plant for phytoremediation. Positive biodegradation results are reported with hemp, which is another plant with commercial value. Because of the importance to NATO, phytoremediation research progress with explosives is an important part of this chapter. There has been good research progress in phytoremediation applications with poplar trees where polychlorinated biphenyls have been investigated. Some recent phytoremediation advances with dioxins are included. Recent phytoremediation results with Miscanthus growing in pesticide-contaminated soil show that Miscanthus is able to grow in soils where mixtures of chlorinated pesticides are present.
