Sebertia acuminata : A Hyperaccumulator of Nickel from New Caledonia

Jaffré, T., Brooks, R. R., Lee, J., Reeves, R. D.·1976·Science

Abstract

Sebertia acuminata (Sapotaceae) from New Caledonia has been shown to be a hyperaccumulator of nickel. The nickel content of the latex (25.74 percent on a dry weight basis) is easily the highest nickel concentration ever found in living material. The nickel is in the form of a low-molecular-weight, water-soluble organic complex.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
