The Chornobyl zone: how wild animals came back, and what is still argued, sentence 18

Mushrooms suck up caesium, a radioactive metal the explosion left in the soil, very well, and wild boar eat underground fungi, so boar in Germany can still be radioactive long after other meat is clean.

Who acts: Mushrooms, explosion, wild boar, boar, other meat · What happens: suck up, leave, eat, be · To what, where: caesium, radioactive metal, soil, underground fungi

This is a sentence of the lesson «The Chornobyl zone: how wild animals came back, and what is still argued» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Mushrooms, explosion, wild boar, boar), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
