A Berkeley group is developing the use of a plant for Se
decontamination of soil. It is in field testing. (I could
probably find a ref if someone wants it.)
Then there are the Ni accumulators, which have several
percent Ni in their sap, nicely chelated (citrate, I think).

views from the geos' camp about the popularity and
effectiveness of BP.

from the calcogen silicates, considering that SiO4--
is stable only at pH 11 in aq?
=3= in what soluble or sol-gel form is Silicon taken up
and transported in/to the plant (at a pH range ~ 7)
=4= As what/which compound is Si stored in the plant?
=5= and what function does the Si have in the plants?

If someone is familiar with the Russian professional literature,

ahahaha... yeah, yeah, I bet... ahaha... So, what do the Ruskies
say?... Even if you don't know, Hennessey, your 2 liner still was
good for a chuckle, unless you plagiarized it from the National

Thanks for the laugh....ahahaha... ahahanson





What is your qualification to be an expert on Russian society? We were
taught for all our lives that they were the enemy, only to find out
later that they were just like us.

It seems to me that you ought to curse the politicians who lied to you,
rather than the scientists.
