Abstract Background Nickel (Ni) phytomining operations cultivate hyperaccumulator plants
('metal crops') on Ni-rich (ultramafic) soils, followed by harvesting and incineration of the …

Background Hyperaccumulator plants are unusual plants that accumulate particular metals
or metalloids, such as nickel, zinc, cadmium and arsenic, in their living tissues to …

Rapid, in-field, and non-contact isotopic analysis of solid materials is extremely important to
a large number of applications, such as nuclear nonproliferation monitoring and forensics …

Ultramafic outcrops could represent up to 3% or more of the terrestrial surface and their
unusual geochemistry makes them a global hotspot for biodiversity. Ultramafic soils are a …

This work critically reviews stable isotope fractionation of essential (B, Mg, K, Ca, Fe, Ni, Cu,
Zn, Mo), beneficial (Si), and non-essential (Cd, Tl) metals and metalloids in plants. The …

Ultramafic soils are typically enriched in nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and cobalt (Co) and
deficient in essential nutrients, making them unattractive for traditional agriculture …

The concept of phytomining is a natural extension of botanical prospecting and the study of
metal biochemistry and biogeography of metal hyperaccumulator plants. Some elements …

Agromining is the chain of processes of phytoextraction of economically valuable elements
by selected hyperaccumulator plants, and subsequent processing of biomass to produce …

Ultramafic soils are originated from ultramafic rocks such as peridotite and serpentinite and
are highly enriched in metals (eg, Ni, Cr, and Co) and depleted in plant nutrients (eg, P, K …

The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) was the most severe extinction event in the past
540 million years, and the Siberian Traps large igneous province (STLIP) is widely …
