The potential uptake and concentration of selenium by vegetation grown on abandoned coal mine lands has been the focus of many restrictions governing the reclamation of such sites. While there is little question that selenium is very toxic, recent research suggests that much of what has been anecdotally attributed to selenium in the past, is, in fact, due to other environmental factors. This presentation will summarize research undertaken by the authors during the last 6 years to more clearly define the effects of selenosis on herbivores in Wyoming.
