“…After Fe, the next most concentrated trace elements in the soils were Zn and Mn. The concentrations found in these two elements were, in general, higher than those reported by [28] in soils from sites close to our study area. However, the standard deviation of the means proved similar to ours, confirming again the great heterogeneity of the area, which, on the other hand, made it ideal for this type of study, since it provided highly variable concentrations and gradients.…”

“…The element with highest soil concentrations of all those analyzed was Fe, which was found mainly in the form of oxides and hydroxides as small particles, or associated in amorphous form with the surfaces of other minerals [4,28,44]. Fe correlated with the rest of the elements studied in the soil (Table S2 in Supplementary Material), linking all the trace elements studied in the mining area.…”

“…The content of trace elements in the soils analyzed varied markedly due to the long history of mining in the area [2,3,28]. Meanwhile, plant species that apparently grew in areas outside the spoil heaps accumulated high contents of some trace elements, e.g., Mn in soils under C. salviifolius (see Table 1), which accounts for the high concentrations of this element that were found, especially in its roots (Table 3).…”

“…Cistus salviifolius is a fast-growing chamaephyte adapted to a broad range of environmental stresses [27], which is included in the group of pseudometallophytes and is commonly found in contaminated soils. Moreover, this species has been used in numerous phytoextraction studies [3,4,23,28].…”

The use of plant species to stabilize and accumulate trace elements in contaminated soils is considered of great usefulness given the difficulty of decontaminating large areas subjected to mining for long periods. In this work, the bioaccumulation of trace elements is studied by relating the concentrations in leaves and roots of three plants of Mediterranean distribution (Dittrichia viscosa, Cistus salviifolius, Euphorbia pithyusa subsp. cupanii) with the concentrations of trace elements in contaminated and uncontaminated soils. Furthermore, in the case of D. viscosa, to know the concentration of each element by biomass, the pool of trace elements was determined both in the aerial part and in the roots. The bioaccumulation factor was not high enough in any of the species studied to be considered as phytoextractors. However, species like the ones studied in this work that live on soils with a wide range of concentration of trace elements and that develop a considerable biomass could be considered for stabilization of contaminated soils. The plant species studied in this work are good candidates for gentle-remediation options in the polluted Mediterranean.

“…Here, the BCFs obtained for As, Pb and Zn in Agustin D. viscosa plants were lower than 1.0, and thus this species could be classified sensu stricto as good candidate for preventing the spread of metal(loid) contaminats by erosion. Low BCF values for these elements in different mining D. viscosa populations, can be worked out from data previously reported by other authors when the total soil metal concentration and metal(loid) content in leaf tissues are considered (Buscaroli et al, 2016;Conesa et al, 2011;Martínez-Sánchez et al, 2012;Pistelli et al, 2017).…”
