Abstract
- The article explores the potential benefits that invasive plant species may derive from pollution with synthetic organic chemicals. It discusses how certain traits, such as rapid growth, root development, antioxidant systems, and phenotypic plasticity, may enable invasive plants to thrive in polluted environments. The study emphasizes the need for further research to understand the complex interactions between invasive species and chemical pollution, suggesting that invasive plants could play a role in the recovery of heavily polluted areas. Collaboration across disciplines is recommended to address the combined challenges of plant invasion and soil pollution effectively. [Extracted from the article]
