Abstract

With the rapid growth of industry and increasing population pressure, environmental pollution has become a serious issue, causing ecosystem disruption and posing significant risks to human health. Consequently, there is a growing need to explore sustainable resources for environmental protection. Present study focuses on multipurpose bast fiber crops, including kenaf, hemp, ramie, jute, and flax, which are known for their environmental benefits. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, using keywords such as bast fiber crops, sustainable environmental remediation, and phytoremediation. This review examines the environmental benefits of bast fiber crops particularly their role in carbon sequestration, desertification mitigation, atmospheric purification, and utilization of problematic lands. Bast fiber plants offer potential for phytoremediation, aiding in the restoration of polluted soils and wastewater. The selected bast fiber crops were chosen based on their widespread cultivation, environmental resilience, and potential contributions to eco-friendly solutions. This review highlights the key results, emphasizing that these crops provide sustainable substitutes for land rehabilitation, climate change mitigation, and the promotion of green bioenergy, contributing to a more sustainable and healthier environment.

期刊介绍： The Science of the Total Environment is an international journal dedicated to scientific research on the environment and its interaction with humanity. It covers a wide range of disciplines and seeks to publish innovative, hypothesis-driven, and impactful research that explores the entire environment, including the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere. The journal's updated Aims & Scope emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary environmental research with broad impact. Priority is given to studies that advance fundamental understanding and explore the interconnectedness of multiple environmental spheres. Field studies are preferred, while laboratory experiments must demonstrate significant methodological advancements or mechanistic insights with direct relevance to the environment.
