Abstract
, respectively. In other words, the percentage reductions in As and Mn uptake and accumulation in the aboveground and underground parts were 78.6% and 63.9% for As and 72.5% and 69.3% for Mn, respectively. The results of this study can be applied for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated areas, especially gold mines and surrounding areas, as well as in other areas.
