ISBN: 9780365835318 - absorption of gold by plants (classic reprint) (1 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the little-known phenomenon of plants absorbing gold from their surroundings. The author, a renowned scientist, conducted groundbreaking experiments demonstrating that certain plants, particularly those containing cyanogenic compounds, can absorb gold from solutions simulating natural conditions. These findings challenge the long-held belief that colloidal gold particles and gold solutions are not taken up by plant roots or stems. The book delves into the significance of this discovery, suggesting that plants play a role in the biogeochemical cycling of gold, contributing to the enrichment of gold in soils where cyanogenic plants thrive. The author's meticulous research and engaging writing style make this book a valuable resource for scientists, nature enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the intricate interactions between plants and the environment.
