Soil-to-plant transfer of radionuclides can be related to plant evolutionary history (phylogeny). For some species and radionuclides the effect is significant enough to be useful in predicting Transfer Factors (TFs). Here a Residual Maximum Likelihoo...

The effects of plant traits and phylogeny on soil-to-plant transfer of 99Tc (2010)
Journal Article
Hicks, S., McEwen, A., Tang, S., & Willey, N. (2010). The effects of plant traits and phylogeny on soil-to-plant transfer of 99Tc. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 101(9), 757-766. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2010.04.019

Assessments of the behaviour of 99Tc in terrestrial environments necessitate predicting soil-to-plant transfer. An experiment with 116 plant taxa showed that 99Tc transfer to plants was positively related to plant dry weight but negatively related to...
