Semiarid bunchgrasses accumulate molybdenum on alkaline copper mine tailings: assessing phytostabilization in the greenhouse

Article Highlights Compost increased P. spicata and F. campestris root and shoot biomass on alkaline copper mine tailings. Ash increased tailings pH and bunchgrass shoot uptake of molybdenum. P. spicata and F. campestris are ‘accumulators’ of molybdenum on alkaline copper mine tailings.
