AbstractHigh abundance of metals in the natural environment is a bit of a double-edged sword – metals are in greater demand now more than ever as we transition to renewable energy sources, so locating resources for extraction is economically important, yet at certain levels many of these metals may be damaging to the environment or toxic to plants, animals, and humans. Many metals can easily move from soil into plant material, where they can accumulate to a much greater extent, sometimes resulting in in
