The aim of the present review is to stimulate an interest in experimental exploration of native coastal plants as a valuable resource for development of and use in environmental remediation technologies. An attempt is made to analyze wild plant species from different coastal habitats in respect to the functional properties useful for soil remediation purposes. Several plant species from a number of coastal plant genera are described as potential models for further studies aimed at practical environmental phytoremediation, including Armeria maritima, Rumex hydrolapathum, Ranunculus sceleratus, Anthyllis maritima, Alyssum montanum subsp. gmelinii, and Sedum maximum. It is concluded that a large number of species of vascular plants native to coastal habitats of the temperate zone have potential for use in different phytoremediation systems, but this potential needs to be systemically and comparably explored experimentally. Important aspects to consider are plant responses to polymetalic substrates or wastewaters, effect of substrate moisture, and effect of edaphic conditions on phytoextraction capacity with emphasis on nitrogen fertilization.
