“…The destruction of this type of land is a consequence of overgrazing and increase the acceleration of erosion. Term "barrens" is used to describe regions that have poor nutrient to support vegetative species that are adapted to their ecology [4]. The term "barrens" expressed a term for poor farmland, or that it lacks aesthetic landscape while the ecologist describe barren soil as edaphic drought and soil infertile [5].…”

Electrokinetic has proven to be alternative technique to remediate pollution and increase soil strength for soft soil. This remediation method has been applied to remediate the hydrocarbon and heavy metal contaminant. Phytoremediation is a technique used to remediate the hydrocarbon and heavy metal contaminant. Both of this remediation technique has been proven as attractive alternative to clean up polluted soils. Although barren acidic soil is not categories as hazardous, the necessity of covered soil surface is on demand in order to minimize the surface erosion. Other than that, this remediation technology also helps in horticulture in order to enlarge the plantation and farming area. This paper will explain the formation of barren acidic soil, principles electrokinetic remediation for remediation of barren acidic soil and application of phytoremediation in order to sustain the process of remediation. Correlation of both remediation methods will minimize the acidic ion migration and sustain the pH value on soil surface for grass, vegetable or palm oil plantation.
