| | Elemental Uptake and Root-Leaves Transfer in Cistus ladanifer L. Growing in a Contaminated Pyrite Mining Area ... |
 | | Abstract: An autochthonal aromatic bush, Cistus ladanifer L., was investigated for the phytoremediation of soils at the contaminated Aljustrel mining area in SW Portugal. |
 | | The bioavailability of Mn, Cu, Zn, and Pb in the soils was evaluated by determining the contents of the elements in a solution of 0.5 M ammonium acetate, 0.5 M acetic acid, and 0.02 M EDTA, at pH 4.7, after soil extraction. |
 | | ladanifer 's capacity to avoid toxic levels in the plant or the toxic effects when such levels were exceeded, as in the case of Mn. |
