Most imperative environmental concerns are Cultural eutrophication pertaining to industrialization and urbanization which lead to proliferation of weeds in aquatic environs disturbing these ecosystems. Alarming increase in CO 2 , CH 4 , CFC's, N 2 O and water vapour in the atmosphere cause enhanced greenhouse effect, among all these CO 2 is accountable for 55-60 % of total enhanced effect. Phyto- and Nutrient sequestration via plants helps storage of atmospheric CO 2 in the vegetation to get rid of contaminants. Carbon and nutrient sequestration can be braided together for sustainable development goals. The chapters adopt the hierarchy as follows: significance of quality environs, quantification and bio-monitoring of culprit contaminants, the issues relevant to global warming and accelerated eutrophication and their ecological impacts followed by various sequestration technologies.

Academic analysis of two giant environmental concerns (CO2, N & P) together in a single volume Special focus on biomonitoring and consequences of emerging pollutants Highlight the ability of vegetation to sequester atmospheric CO2 and nutrients (N & P)
