Organic matter supply decreased Cu mobility and accumulation in Anisopappus chinensis at 500 mg kg⁻¹ Cu.

Oxides of Fe and Mn supplies had little effect on Cu–Co mobility in soil and accumulation by plants.

Anisopappus chinensis maintains high foliar Cu–Co without effect on growth while increasing Cu–Co mobility.

Anisopappus chinensis is added to the short list of candidate cuprophytes for Cu–Co phytoremediation.
