Arsenic Uptake and Translocation by Plants in Pot and Field Experiments
A work undertaken by pot and field experiments to assess the suitability of poplars and ferns for the in-situ, phytoextraction, of a dumping site with residues from the roasting process of arseno-pyrite is reported. The main characteristic of this site is the high content of both the As metalloid an...

A work undertaken by pot and field experiments to assess the suitability of poplars and ferns for the in-situ, phytoextraction, of a dumping site with residues from the roasting process of arseno-pyrite is reported. The main characteristic of this site is the high content of both the As metalloid and heavy metals (e.g., Al, Fe, Cu, Co, Cr, Pb). Two poplar clones (Populus deltoides ‘Dvina’ and Populus x canadensis ‘Orion’) and Pteris vittata (Chinese brake fern) were planted in the contaminated soil both ex situ in pots and in situ.
