Phytostabilization is a promising option for the remediation of metal contaminated soils which requires the implementation of long-term monitoring programs. We here propose to incorporate the paradigm of "adaptive monitoring", which enables monitoring programs to evolve iteratively as new information emerges and research questions change, to metal phytostabilization. Posing good questions that cover the chemical, toxicological and ecological concerns associated to metal contaminated soils is critical for an efficient long-term phytostabilization monitoring program. Regarding the ecological concerns, soil microbial parameters are most valuable indicators of the effectiveness of metal phytostabilization processes in terms of recovery of soil health. We suggest to group soil microbial parameters in higher-level categories such as "ecological attributes" (vigor, organization, stability) or "ecosystem services" in order to facilitate interpretation and, most importantly, to provide long-term phytostabilization monitoring programs with the required stability through time against changes in techniques, methods, interests, etc. that will inevitably occur during the monitoring program. Finally, a Phytostabilization Monitoring Card, based on both ecological attributes and ecosystem services, for soil microbial properties is provided.
植物稳定化是一种有前途的修复受金属污染土壤的方法，需要实施长期监测计划。我们在这里提出将“适应性监测”范式纳入金属植物稳定化，该范式使监测计划能够随着新信息的出现和研究问题的变化而迭代演进。提出涵盖与金属污染土壤相关的化学、毒理学和生态学问题的好问题对于有效的长期植物稳定化监测计划至关重要。关于生态学问题，土壤微生物参数是衡量金属植物稳定化过程有效性的最有价值的指标，可反映土壤健康的恢复情况。我们建议将土壤微生物参数分组为更高层次的类别，例如“生态属性”（活力、组织、稳定性）或“生态系统服务”，以便于解释，最重要的是，通过时间提供长期植物稳定化监测计划所需的稳定性，以应对监测计划期间不可避免会发生的技术、方法、利益等变化。最后，提供了一种基于生态属性和生态系统服务的土壤微生物特性的植物稳定化监测卡。
