Phytoremediation
Phytoremediation is not a terpene, but rather an ecological and agronomic process in which plants—including cannabis—accumulate, metabolize, or sequester environmental contaminants from soil, water, or air. In cannabis cultivation contexts, this term describes how cultivars may uptake heavy metals, pesticide residues, or other compounds from growing media. Understanding phytoremediation capacity is relevant to breeding programs focused on soil health, cultivation sustainability, and end-product safety testing. Breeders studying genetic variation in accumulation patterns contribute to knowledge about cultivar-specific bioaccumulation traits.

Plant geneticists and cultivators monitor phytoremediation tendencies to select for either low bioaccumulation (desirable for final product purity) or high bioaccumulation capacity (useful in environmental remediation studies). Lineage records tracking soil-tolerance and heavy-metal sequestration phenotypes remain sparse but are increasingly documented in research and breeding programs.
