Terrestrial higher plants which hyperaccumulate metallic elements. a review of their distribution, ecology and phytochemistry
TL;DR: Phytochemical studies suggest that hyperaccumulation is closely linked to the mechanism of metal tolerance involved in the successful colonization of metalliferous and otherwise phytotoxic soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of nickeliferous rocks by analysis of herbarium specimens of indicator plants
TL;DR: In this paper, nearly 2000 herbarium specimens and 232 species of the genera Homalium and Hybanthus were analysed for nickel in order to identify plant accumulators of nickel which were indicative of nickeliferous (usually ultrabasic) rocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serpentine and Its Vegetation: A Multidisciplinary Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the nature, occurrence and composition of ultamafic rocks are discussed and the serpentine factor factor is discussed, and the distribution and phytochemistry of plants which hyperaccumulate nickel.
