Abstract In 2022, nickel (Ni) was nominated as a critical metal due to its wide applications in
the metal industry, especially in clean energy applications to achieve climate mitigation …

Phytomining of noble metals (NMs) offers a promising possibility of metal extraction at sites
where traditional mining activities or recovering NMs from low-grade minerals are not …

Due to the increasing global severe soil pollution, a large number of heavy metal elements
are enriched in biomass grown in polluted areas and hyperaccumulators used for …

Many articles concerning phytoextraction of trace elements state that it is “an emerging
technology that can be used for the low-cost clean-up of contaminated land…”. Given the …
