Antibiotics are widely used as drugs and enter water bodies through various routes, leading to environmental pollution. As a green in-situ remediation technology, phytoremediation has been proven to be highly effective in removing antibiotics present in the aqueous phase. However, these data are distributed in various studies and lack systematic analysis, which could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the current status and trends in the research field. Based on this, a meta-analysis was conducted from three perspectives in this study: the factors influencing antibiotics removal by phytoremediation, the effect of antibiotics on plant physiological indexes, and the accumulation and translocation of antibiotics in plants. The results showed that plants have a significant effect on antibiotics removal, which is influenced by plant species, running time, biomass, antibiotic types and antibiotic concentration. Although some physiological indexes of plants changed under stress from high antibiotic concentrations, most plant species demonstrated resistance to antibiotic concentrations below 100 μgL^-1. Additionally, the amount of antibiotics accumulated in plants was extremely little, so the risk of secondary pollution was minimal during phytoremediation. The results of this study reveal the main factors influencing antibiotics removal by phytoremediation and plant physiological responses to antibiotics, providing a reference for improving the rational application of phytoremediation for antibiotics removal. In addition, it will provide concepts and directions for improving the efficiency of sustainable and environmentally friendly remediation methods for treating antibiotic pollution.
