One thing that has been proven, is the capacity of hyperaccumulators like Pycnandra acuminata to clean soil with a build-up of toxic material caused by human activity, through a process called “phytomining”.

How so? Might work I suppose if humans harvest the plants, removing them. Otherwise, they'd naturally drop and decay, returning the metals to the soils.

My take was that this was simply another pandering to the “all humans should commit suicide RIGHT NOW crowd.

That is what is usually done.

Not sure it is economically viable with trees.
