Pretty wild stuff... Metal-eating plants...
i think i'm more interested in the phytomining process.. lemme get this straight, they plant these * metal-eating plants,* in areas where metals are abundant and then burn it just to get the metal extracted?
It seems so - burning plants can create nutritious soil in itself and there are some species of tree that actually depend on it, but it definitely sounds concerning if done on a global scale...
Thank you for clarifying
