The science of this is way beyond me, but sharing because I'd never even heard of agromining (extracting rare metals from plants) and I'm fascinated.

Cultivation of nickel hyperaccumulators for metal extraction in their natural growth environment: a four-year field application As the climate crisis drives the green transition and increases industrial demand for Ni, agromining aims to develop systems for better management of Ni-rich soils, offering a novel approach to agr...

New paper on the cultivation of three nickel hyperaccumulators in their natural growth environmen led by Dimitris Kyrkas - International Journal of #Phytoremediation (tandfresearch.bsky.social)
