Hi!
Someone recently commented on a post by @Ben Tyler that the link to Permaculture News' article on Unadilla's dynamic accumulator research was broken. Here are some relevant links:
The spreadsheet with the dynamic accumulator data from Unadilla:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19S3wsjXU6VPzmbklZLVxKt6DCyZIPjCYw6zRrVg7M4Y/edit#gid=662104531
This gives some context and info about their own research to expand the database with new data:
https://unadillacommunityfarm.org/dynamicaccumulators/
What their database is based off of (Dr. Duke’s work):
https://phytochem.nal.usda.gov/phytochem/search/list
https://data.nal.usda.gov/dataset/dr-dukes-phytochemical-and-ethnobotanical-databases
https://nal.usda.gov/legacy/afsic/james-duke
...
Also, I want to share a list of related terms or synonyms for "dynamic accumulators" that I found while doing a lit review for an internship paper on tree nutrient accumulation and the possibility of using tree leaves as fertilizer:
○ root foraging
○ scavenge nutrients
○ dynamic accumulator
○ hyperaccumulation
○ biogeochemical
○ deep rooting
○ nutrient pumping
○ deep capture
○ nutrient uptake
○ nutrient uplift
○ aggrading vegetation
○ bioaccumulator
○ accumulator species
○ phytoremediation
○ heavy metal reclamation
○ plant uplift and recycling
○ phytoaccumulator
○ phytomining
○ phytoextraction
○ elements translocation
○ accelerator plants
○ mineral accumulator
○ mineral miner
...
Small sample of some papers from that lit review of interest:

-Located near bottom of page under "Supporting Information"
-Can download the tables and spreadsheets for easier referencing/use
