That makes it a metal hyperaccumulator—in other words, a plant that can deal with a lot of metal.

这使它成为重金属超累积型植物——换句话说，一种能够处理大量重金属的植物。

Metal hyperaccumulators like it could make it possible to remove metal pollutants from soils, which could be valuable here on Earth or even in future civilizations on Mars.

这类超积累植物能帮助我们去除土壤中的重金属污染物，这不仅在地球上很有意义，甚至在未来的火星文明中都很有价值。

The idea is that when a hyperaccumulator's leaves drop to the ground, they enrich the nickel in the soil and make it harder for other plants to thrive.

这种观点认为当超积累植物的叶子落到地上，土壤中的镍含量增加，这导致其它植物难以生长。
