ABSTRACT The Tinto River (Huelva, southwestern Spain) is an extreme environment with a
rather constant acidic pH along the entire river and a high concentration of heavy metals …

Acclimation of hyperaccumulators to heavy metal‐induced stress is crucial for
phytoremediation and was investigated using the hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens …

The Tinto and Odiel rivers are seriously affected by acid mine drainage (AMD) from the long-
term mining activities in Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB). As a consequence, the Huelva estuary is …

The Tinto river drains the Rio Tinto mining district, which comprises the world's largest
known massive sulfide deposits; these orebodies have been mined from the third millenium …

This paper intends to analyse seasonal variations of the quality of the water of the Odiel
River. This river, together with the Tinto River, drains the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB), a region …
