Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

ratios indicate that plant roots are able to mobilize TBT into bioavailable forms. Thus, TBT in soil can be converted to a bioavailable form and migrate. This study is of great importance for comprehension of the mechanisms of tritium migration in the soil-plant system, which can help predict its behavior not only in ecosystems of STS but also in radioactive waste disposal areas.
