e0“We examined the uptake and the effects of strontium (Sr) and vanadium (V) on the growth of hydroponically cultivated species Nephrolepis exaltata (L.) Schott (NE) and Iris × germanica L. (IG)”
e2“Both species efficiently accumulated Sr, with translocation factors (TF) consistently above 1 (approximately 1.2–2.2) and bioconcentration factors (BCF) ranging from approximately 6 to 9, meeting the criteria for classification as Sr hyperaccumulators”
