Compendium of metal uptake data for plants growing on mine sites in Yukon

This document is meant as a report on, and a supplement to the Metals Uptake Database (www.yukoncollege.yk.ca/research), completed in the summer of 2017. It acts to summarize and report on certain aspects of the data contained within the database, and highlight the literature from which data in the database was retrieved. The general purpose of this project was to compile information on the uptake of metals by different plant species in the North, specifically on mine-impacted sites, in order to compare this data to the scientific literature on species specific metal uptake. To this end, literature of this type was gathered from a number of sources for both the Yukon and Alaska.
