| arsenic accumulation by two brake ferns growing on an arsenic mine and their potential in phytoremediation. | in an area near an arsenic mine in hunan province of south china, soils were often found with elevated arsenic levels. a field survey was conducted to determine arsenic accumulation in 8 cretan brake ferns (pteris cretica) and 16 chinese brake ferns (pteris vittata) growing on these soils. three factors were evaluated: arsenic concentration in above ground parts (fronds), arsenic bioaccumulation factor (bf; ratio of arsenic in fronds to soil) and arsenic translocation factor (tf; ratio of arseni ... | 2006 | 16297966 |
| survival strategies of plants associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on toxic mine tailings. | a field survey of metal concentrations and arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) components of plants growing on five mining sites was conducted in chenzhou city, hunan province, southern china and a control site in hong kong. significant differences were observed in the average concentrations of total heavy metals (pb, zn, cu, cd) and one metalloid (as) in contaminated soils compared with the control site. gramineae and compositae were the dominant plant families growing on mine tailings, with chrysanthe ... | 2007 | 16872660 |
