Establishing plant species on mine tailings in arid and semiarid regions is impeded by physicochemical factors including extreme temperatures, low precipitations, high winds and high salt concentrations (Munshower, 1994). Three native plant species were used in this study P. tamarugo, S. molle and A. nummularia.
The plantings' "uptake" of ore metals or heavy metals from mine tailings is minuscule, just enough that it can become a problem by either stunting plant growth or poisoning animals when they consume harmful trace amounts of these metals as they graze on the plants.
Tailings consist of ground rock and process effluents that are generated in a mine processing plant. Mechanical and chemical processes are used to extract the desired product from the run of the mine ore and produce a waste stream known as tailings.

Jan 05, 2016·The mine tailings are highly acidic as well as toxic with a number of heavy metals including Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni, As, Fe and Hg. The abundance of heavy metals along with other harmful effects in the tailings and very low pH of the tailings degrade the natural ecosystem of the tailing dams to a problematic state.

Phytostabilization is a remediation technology that uses plants for in situ stabilization of contamination in soils and mine tailings. The objective of this study was to identify native plant species with potential for phytostabilization of the abandoned mine tailings in Nacozari, Sonora in northern Mexico.
Introduction. Soils in mining areas and around smelters are enriched with toxic heavy metals such as Zn, Pb and Cd and they have a very low organic matter and nitrogen (N) content. Plant species diversity is drastically limited since few plant species are able to grow on such soils (Ernst 1990 ).

Dec 01, 2007·The sesbania plants used in the professors research were collected in the southern part of the United States, but they grow as far north as Colorado. Sahi is not sure if the plants would survive in Northern Ontario. The mining industry should look more seriously at using phytoremediation on old mine sites, he said.
Abstract. Juncus conglomeratus L. is the main plant species growing in the pyrites mine tailings at Lousal, in southern Portugal, where it forms extensive monospecific communities occupying permanently water saturated hillsides and, less frequently, waterlogged depressions at the foot of spoil heaps.
Some pioneer plants are able to grow on mine tailings, an extreme environment characterized by high heavy metal (HM) content and lack of nutrients. Plantgrowthpromoting rhizobacteria (PGPB) play an important role by improving conditions for plant adaptation, production, and establishment.

Mine tailings have drastically reduced and functionally altered microbial communities that are not suited to support plant establishment in tailings (13). In fact, previous work has doc umented major transitions in the microbial communities of tailings during successful plant establishment in tailings (8, 11, 14, 16).
ABSTRACT. Many abandoned tailings piles in the southwest are found along river banks where entisols predominate, the majority of which are alkaline. Thus, native plants used in mine tailing revegetation studies in the southwest are drought and salt tolerant and are adapted to pH levels of 7 to 8.
