Copper accumulation and changes in soil physical–chemical properties promoted by native plants in ​​an abandoned mine site in northeastern Brazil: Implications for restoration of mine sites

In this study, the copper-accumulating capacity of plants growing spontaneously in copper-contaminated soils in an ​​abandoned mine site in northeastern Brazil was evaluated by calculating enrichment (EF) and translocation (TF) factors. The effects of physical and chemical changes in the rhizosphere...

description In this study, the copper-accumulating capacity of plants growing spontaneously in copper-contaminated soils in an ​​abandoned mine site in northeastern Brazil was evaluated by calculating enrichment (EF) and translocation (TF) factors. The effects of physical and chemical changes in the rhizosphere soil on copper mobility were determined by using different compounds (Mehlich3/MgCl2) to extract Cu from different types of soil samples (bulk/rhizosphere soil). Finally, the possible implications for the use of these plant species in restoring the area were assessed by calculating the balance between the Cu mobilized in the rhizosphere and the Cu absorbed by the plants. On the basis of the EF and TF values obtained (all

Two of the species (B. pilosa and P. calomelanos) contained more Cu in their tissues than mobilized in the rhizosphere. This is a desirable characteristic for restoration purposes, as the plants can reduce the bioavailable Cu content in soils and thus act as facilitators for regeneration of the site.
