Abstract:
      Heavy metal pollution in soils of vegetable greenhouses has become increasingly prominent, threatening the safety of vegetable food in China. At present, the study of contaminated soil remediation in China is mainly focused on polluted farmland soils, and only few studies have been conducted on relatively closed vegetable greenhouses. This paper summarizes the status of heavy metal pollution in soils of vegetable greenhouses. Methods of controlling heavy metal pollution in greenhouse soils including regulation of fertility conditions, adding soil improvers, or adjusting crop varieties and farming system are reviewed. Perspectives for future studies on heavy metal pollution in greenhouse soil are also put forward.
