Seasonal enrichment by trace elements of kikuyu grass around heavy metals industries

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Samples of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst.) taken in autumn and spring around a smelting complex show a marked seasonal enrichment by trace elements. The general deposition of metals from the atmosphere, diminishing outwards from the source, produces a matrix of highly significant correlations between all contaminating metals in grass and soil (sampled in the autumn survey). re]19751208
