Mine reclamation practices can influence postmining water quality and the extent to which acid mine drainage is generated. Research suggests mine site rock geochemistry and lithology have more influence on postmining drainage chemistry than does reclamation (diPretoro and Rauch, 1987).
Vegetable, eaten raw or cooked. Rich in carotene which is the precursor of vitamin A. First domesticated in Afganistan. Early varieties had anthocyanin pigments in them giving the carrot a red, purple or black colour. A yellow variety without anthocyanin arose in the 16th century and became popular.
APIACEAE/UMBELLIFERAE Notes: Perhaps with more than any other family of wild greens, extreme caution and expertise is necessary in foraging. Several of the most poisonous species of wild greens that grow in the U.S.

Axial and radial transport and the accumulation of photoassimilates in carrot taproot were studied using C-14 labelling and autoradiography. Axial transport of the C-14 labelled assimilates inside the taproot was rapid and occurred mainly in the young phloem found in rows radiating from the cambium.
