This study aimed to analyze the heavy metal absorption characteristics of different plant species and planting patterns on lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) levels in soil. Two ramie [Boehmeria nivea (L.) Guad.] varieties (Zhongzhu‐1 and Xiangzhu‐3), and Pteris vittata L. were cultivated in monoculture and...
