About [Edit]
The PhytoPet© database was originally developed as an inventory of plants with a demonstrated ability to phytoremediate or, at the very least, tolerate soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs). As such, the database was designed to provide easy access to a wide range of information and assist users in the selection of plants with the potential to phytoremediate petroleum hydrocarbons.
The PhytoPet© database was developed by researchers in the Department of Soil Science, University of Saskatchewan in co-operation with Environment Canada. Support for this project was provided through an initiative sponsored by the Saskatchewan Agriculture & Food strategic research program in Soil Biology & Conservation; PTAC Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada and funded by Environment Canada; Veco Canada Ltd., Alliance group; Amoco Canada Petroleum Co. Ltd; the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) Environmental Research Advisory Council (ERAC); the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC); and the Program of Energy Research and Development (PERD).
