Despite growing recognition of the conservation values of grassy biomes, our understanding
of how to maintain and restore biodiverse tropical grasslands (including savannas and open …

This review synthesizes contemporary understanding of copper–cobalt (Cu–Co) tolerance
and accumulation in plants. Accumulation of foliar Cu and Co to> 300 μg g− 1 is …

Box 9E. 1 Continued FIGURE 2. The C–S–R triangle model (Grime 1979). The strategies at
the three corners are C, competiti-winning species; S, stress-tolerating s-cies; R …

Environmental pollution caused by metals, radionuclides and organic pollutants affects
quality of the biosphere: soil, water and air. Currently, great efforts have been made to …

Abstract Metal and metalloid (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Pb and Zn) distribution in soils from the
Katanga Copperbelt (Democratic Republic of Congo) is investigated in order to characterize …

Phytoremediation is a promising method for the removal of toxic trace elements, specifically
of copper, from the contaminated soil in the mining regions of Armenia. Thereby, the …

Along with the widespread use of copper (Cu)-based fungicides and fertilizers, Cu-
contaminated soil has been a major issue resulting in the loss of crop yield. To improve Cu …

Next to water, nutrients are the environmental factor that most strongly constrains terrestrial
productivity. The productivity of virtually all natural ecosystems, even arid ecosystems …

To date, almost no information is available in roots and shoots of the model plant
Arabidopsis thaliana about the hierarchic relationship between metal accumulation …

The goal of this study was to quantify the mobility and partitioning of trace elements
originating from mine waste rocks derived from open pit coal extraction activities. The results …
