Soil remediation and rehabilitation are crucial processes aimed at restoring and improving the health of contaminated or degraded soils. Remediation involves the removal or neutralization of pollutants, such as heavy metals or chemicals, to make the soil suitable for its intended use. Techniques may include bioremediation, phytoremediation, or physical methods like soil vapor extraction. On the other hand, soil rehabilitation focuses on enhancing overall soil quality, structure, and fertility, often through organic amendments, cover cropping, and sustainable agricultural practices. Both processes contribute to environmental sustainability by mitigating the impact of industrial activities, pollution, or improper land use. Effective soil management practices play a pivotal role in ensuring long-term environmental health, agricultural productivity, and sustainable development.
