Plant materials and soil samples from metal‐bearing sites (Madem‐Lakko, Plyntirio, Skouries) of N. Greece (Chalkidiki) were analysed while their content in Zn, Pb, Cu, Ca, Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Cr and Cd was determined. Zn, Pb and Cu regarded as the basic metals of these sites were found in plant materials in the following concentrations: 28–1079 ppm Zn (the highest in Cistus incanus), traces‐313 ppm Pb (the highest in Campanula ligulata) andtraces‐817 ppm Cu (the highest in Rumex acetosella). The corresponding ones detected in soil samples were: 80–10547 ppm Zn, 15–7349 ppm Pb and 112–5288 ppm Cu.
Only traces were detectable of the elements Co, Ni, Cr and Cd contained in considerably smaller amounts in the soil (Co: 12–45 ppm, Ni: 33–272 ppm, Cr: 17–228 ppm, Cd: 5–45 ppm). Mn whose concentrations in the soil differentiate the site of Madem‐Lakko from the other two, occurred between 51–1079 ppm.
Finally while Ca and Mg generally manifest the order Ca
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
