Methods: Frond and root samples of 150 ferns at peak spore maturation were collected with associated soils between July 2012 and July 2014. Results: Arsenic in PV spores (45.4-336mg kg−1) exceeded soil As (0.60-111mg kg−1) in all sites and at clean sites (0.60-1.17mg kg−1) for non-hyperaccumulator spores (1.83-8.60mg kg−1). In PV, As in fronds and spores correlated positively with soil As (r = 0.71-0.74) with bioconcentration factors (tissue As:soil As) of 14.3-654 and 3.26-53.6 compared to 0.08-0.44 and 0.03-8.37 for three non-hyperaccumulators. However, P in PV spores (1977-4832mg kg−1) correlated negatively with frond (1028-2439mg kg−1; r = −0.43) and soil (76.2-170mg kg−1; r = −0.34) P. Conclusions: PV hyperaccumulates As into fronds and spores from soils with trace As. Since PV spores constituted ~9% of frond biomass, the elevated spore As may deserve further investigation in their role as a potential health hazard and metal cycling.
