For small, remote, or abandoned mines, phytostabilization may reduce potential environmental hazards\u2014provided plants can establish and grow.  We grew a widespread perennial grass, Bouteloua curtipendula, in mining wastes with and without soil (compost, lime) and microbial amendments (endophyte seed coats) to determine whether we could improve plant establishment and growth.  This data collection has four associated data releases: the physical elemental, and geochemical characteristics of the mining wastes and soil amendments; the laboratory environmental conditions during the growth of Bouteloua curtipendula in the mining wastes; and the amount of grass growth, organic matter accumulation, and metals remaining after growth of Bouteloua curtipendula with and without soil and/or microbial amendments.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P99OYEXQ", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.608af961d34ef6cfc4abaa5d.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_608af961d34ef6cfc4abaa5d", "keyword": ["USGS:608af961d34ef6cfc4abaa5d", "bioremediation", "carbon cycling", "carbon isotope analysis", "contaminant transport", "environment", "metallic mineral resources", "phytostabilization", "vegetation"], "modified": "2022-07-18T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-110.73290, 31.43403, -109.90030, 31.44780", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Grass Growth in Mining Wastes with Compost and Endophyte Additions"}
