Declarations

: This study evidenced the behaviour of forage grasses exposed to different concentrations of copper. The text presents new scientific information in relation to the functional groups of grasses that did not remain competitive or conserve resources in environments with high concentrations of copper. In addition, it showed that the species of marandu, piatã and giant missioneira grass are promising to be used in phytoremediation for tropical areas contaminated by copper.

: All authors developed for the article and consent to publish the article in this journal.

: This study does not have competing interests.

: This article presents promising plant species for the recovery of areas contaminated with copper. Different species of tropical forage grasses may have different phytoremediation potentials. The promising species for phytoremediation of copper were the marandu, the piatã and the giant missioneira grass.
