The role of aquatic and terrestrial vegetation in controlling the mobility of arsenic and other metals in northern environments
Principal Investigator: Stephen, Celsian C
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The objective of this project is to enhance our understanding of the controls on the mobility of metal contaminants in mine-impacted environments. More specifically, to enhance our understanding of the role terrestrial and aquatic plants play in sequestering mine-contaminants such as arsenic, antimony, copper, lead and zinc. The field methods for this program consist of a soil and vegetation...
