The Biogeochemical Response of Metal(Loid)S to a Phytostabilization Remediation Approach on Acidic Iron Sulfide Tailings at the Iron King Mine and Humboldt Smelter Superfund Site in Semi-Arid Central Arizona

Particulate and dissolved forms of arsenic and heavy metals are released from legacy mine tailings, particularly in (semi-) arid environments where tailings remain barren of vegetation and therefore highly susceptible to erosion.
