Plants from the abandoned Nacozari mine tailings: evaluation of their phytostabilization potential [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Phytostabilization is a remediation technology that uses plants for in-situ stabilization of contamination in soils and mine tailings. The objective of this study was to identify native plant species with potential for phytostabilization of the abandoned
