    试想像世界上有些超级植物,表面看似正常,实则有着超能力,可以帮助人类解决环境污染、原材料短缺、贫穷等问题。这种超级植物确实存在!「超累积植物」会在叶子里储存大量重金属,足以用来净化土壤,有些甚至可以提取出金属。在南海的新喀里多尼亚岛上,一种不起眼的植物Phyllanthus balgooyi,居然可以修补露天采矿在土地留下的伤痕。另一边厢,阿尔巴尼亚的农民则首次栽种蕴含镍的植物。这种一直被他们视为无用的杂草,现在竟成为农民的生计来源。

    Just imagine there were “superplants”. Plants that are quite normal in appearance but possess almost magical abilities. Little plants, which could help us mitigate problems like environmental pollution, shortages of raw materials and poverty. And these superplants do exist! Hyperaccumulators are plants that store so many heavy metals in their leaves that can decontaminate soil. Others can even be used to gather the accumulated raw materials. In the jungle of the South Sea paradise of New Caledonia, open-cast nickel mining has left huge scars in the landscape. Phyllanthus balgooyi, an unremarkable little plant, helps scientists restore this contaminated wasteland. Meanwhile in Albania, farmers are purposely harvesting nickel-accumulating plants for the first time. Plants that have been regarded as useless weed, can now open up new ways of sustenance for them.
