Designer Cropping Systems for Polluted Land explores the processes and techniques of making polluted land safe for planting edible and non-edible crops. The book provides readers and practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of contaminated land use through designer cropping systems. It seeks to present promising and affordable practices for transforming polluted lands while also providing an excellent basis from which scientific knowledge can grow and widen in the fields of phytoremediation-based biofortification.
- Provides basic understanding on how to produce edible crops on polluted lands with biofortification
- Explores cropping systems for the extraction of metals for industrial use
- Discovers the role of designer cropping systems in phytoremediation programs
Students, researchers, and environmental community related to phytoremediation/phytomanagement of polluted lands, especially who work on plant-based remediation of polluted lands Students and researchers of agriculture and plant biology

Manhattan Lebrun
Dr. Manhattan Lebrun received her master’s degree in Environmental Science at the University of Orleans, France, and a Ph.D. in Bioenvironmental at the University of Molise, Italy. During her Ph.D., she mainly focused on the rhizosphere area, analyzing the root physiology (root proteome profile, root oxidative stress, root exudates) and of the microbial community (sequencing, enzyme activities, community level physiological profiles). Following her postdoc research, she focused on using amendments to ameliorate the fertility of agriculture soil. Dr. Lebrun primarily studied the physiological responses of plants to drought and amendments (leaf gas exchange, proline content) and the nitrogen cycle (N2O emissions, nitrogen related enzymes). She has published over 36 research papers in reputable journals and 2 book chapters.
