Author Information

Dr. Vimal Chandra Pandey is an applied research scientist internationally recognized for his research in the area of Phytomanagement of polluted sites. He is listed as the World's Top 2% Scientists, announced by Stanford University, California, United States, and published by Elsevier BV, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Dr. Pandey's research focuses mainly on the remediation and management of heavy metal-polluted lands and post-industrial lands, using ecologically and socio-economically valuable plants, to regain ecosystem services and support a bio-based economy as phytoproducts. His research interests also lie in fostering phytoremediation for utilizing polluted lands and thereby attaining the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Dr. Pandey's phytoremediation work has led to the extension of phytoremediation beyond its traditional application. He is now engaged in exploring commercial phytoremediation with the least risk, minimum input, and low maintenance for the rehabilitation and revegetation of fly ash dumpsite, red mud dumpsite, coal-mined sites, etc. Dr. Pandey worked at CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, and the Council of Science and Technology, Uttar Pradesh (CSTUP), Lucknow, India. He is the recipient of several awards/honors/fellowships. Dr. Pandey is a member of the IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management and the National Academy of Sciences, India. Dr. Pandey has published over 114 scientific articles/book chapters in peer-reviewed journals/books. He is also the author and editor of several books published by Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, and CRC Press, with several more forthcoming. Dr. Pandey is Associate Editor/Editor/Academic Editor/Board Member of journals such as Land Degradation and Development; Restoration Ecology; Ecological Processes; Environment, Development, and Sustainability; Ambio; Environmental Management; Discover Sustainability; Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology; and PLOS ONE by Wiley/Springer/PLOS. He also worked as a guest editor for many reputed international journals.
