“…The mean concentration of both Cu and Zn in the leaves of the plants around the Remance gold mine, compared to plants from other parts of the world, fell within the ranges known for between uncontaminated (Shtangeeva et al, 2020a , 2020b ) and contaminated zones (Hussain et al, 2019 ), while the As, Sb and Ba values were similar to those reported from contaminated areas (Getaneh & Alemayehu, 2006 ; Hussain et al, 2019 ). More specifically, the Cu concentrations in grass were similar to those from contaminated areas (Hussain et al, 2019 ), while As, Sb and Ba obtained higher values than those reported in uncontaminated areas (Shtangeeva et al, 2020a , 2020b ), and the Zn concentrations were similar to those from uncontaminated areas (Kabata-Pendias, 2011 ). All these values imply harmful effects on the health of the cattle grazing in the study area for these PTEs because they are higher than those recommended for the animal nutrition of ruminants (Johnsen & Aaneby, 2019 ), as is the case of Cu and Zn (NRC, 2001 ).…”

“…In tea leaves, the average Cu concentration fell within the same range as in uncontaminated areas (Kabata-Pendias, 2011 ), and Zn concentrations were much higher than those reported for commercial tea by Idrees et al ( 2020 ). In grass and plants, Cu, As, Sb, and Ba were higher than in the uncontaminated sites reported by Shtangeeva et al, ( 2020a , b ).…”

Mining affects the environment, particularly through the persistence of accumulation of tailings materials; this is aggravated under tropical climatic conditions, which favours the release of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) bioavailable to the local flora and fauna and supposing a risk to human health. The Remance gold mine (Panamá), exploited intermittently for more than 100 years, and has remained derelict for over 20 years. Within the area live farmers who carry out subsistence agriculture and livestock activities. The objective of this study has been to study the transference of PTEs in the local agricultural soil-plants system, with the goal of identifying their bioavailability to perform a human risk assessment. The results obtained of the Bioaccumulation coefficient in local plants show very weak to strong absorption of As (< 0.001–1.50), Hg (< 0.001–2.38), Sb (0.01–7.83), Cu (0.02–2.89), and Zn (0.06–5.32). In the case of Cu in grass (18.3 mg kg−1) and plants (16.9 mg kg−1) the concentrations exceed the maximum authorised value in animal nutrition for ruminants (10 mg kg−1). The risk to human health for edible plants exceeds the non-carcinogenic risk for rice, corn, cassava, and tea leaves for Sb (HQ 19.450, 18.304, 6.075, 1.830, respectively), the carcinogenic risk for Cu (CR = 2.3 × 10–3, 7.7 × 10 −4, 1.1 × 10–3, 1.0 × 10–3, respectively), and the carcinogenic risk for As in rice, corn and tea leaves (CR = 8 × 10–5, 3 × 10–5, 3 × 10–5, respectively). Urgent measures are needed to alleviate these effects.

“…Thus, we believe that a general relationship has been established between the chemical element accumulation by plants and the characteristics of the ions. With the primary role of ions in plant nutrition, we assume the presence of general laws of the chemical element migration, both in the mineral part of the biosphere and in living organisms that corresponds well to recent findings [62][63][64].…”

A biogeochemical study of more than 20,000 soil and plant samples from the North Caucasus, Dzungarian Alatau, Kazakh Uplands, and Karatau Mountains revealed features of the chemical element uptake by the local flora. Adaptation of ore prospecting techniques alongside environmental approaches allowed the detection of geochemical changes in ecosystems, and the lessons learned can be embraced for soil phytoremediation. The data on the influence of phytogeochemical stress on the accumulation of more than 20 chemical elements by plants are considered in geochemical provinces, secondary fields of deposits, halos surrounding ore and nonmetallic deposits, zones of regional faults and schist formation, and over lithological contact lines of chemically contrasting rocks overlain by 5–20 m thick soils and unconsolidated cover. We have corroborated the postulate that the element accumulation patterns of native plants under the natural geochemical stress depend not only on the element content in soils and the characteristics of a particular species but also on the values of ionic radii and valences; with an increase in the energy coefficients of a chemical element, its plant accumulation decreases sharply. The contribution of internal factors to element uptake from solutions gives the way to soil phytoremediation over vast contaminated areas. The use of hyperaccumulating species for mining site soil treatment depends on several external factors that can strengthen or weaken the stressful situation, viz., the amount of bedrock exposure and thickness of unconsolidated rocks over ores, the chemical composition of ores and primary halos in ore-containing strata, the landscape and geochemical features of sites, and chemical element migration patterns in the supergene zone.

“…Noteworthy, the restrictive role of gypsum soils on vegetation only appears under arid and semiarid conditions (Escudero et al ., 2015), limiting the potential role of climate on the elemental composition of gypsum plants. The small effect observed for soil properties on the elemental composition of Iberian gypsum plants contrasts with the results of previous studies in which soil had a marked effect on the elemental composition of plants (Ågren & Weih, 2012; Shtangeeva et al ., 2020). These discrepancies cannot be explained by a low resolution in our dataset, but are likely to be due to the low variability in the soil conditions included in the study.…”

Recent and ancient evolutionary events shaped plant elemental composition of edaphic endemics: a phylogeny‐wide analysis of Iberian gypsum plants

Summary The analysis of plant elemental composition and the underlying factors affecting its variation are a current hot topic in ecology. Ecological adaptation to atypical soils may shift plant elemental composition. However, no previous studies have evaluated its relevance against other factors such as phylogeny, climate or individual soil conditions. We evaluated the effect of the phylogeny, environment (climate, soil), and affinity to gypsum soils on the elemental composition of 83 taxa typical of Iberian gypsum ecosystems. We used a new statistical procedure (multiple phylogenetic variance decomposition, MPVD) to decompose total explained variance by different factors across all nodes in the phylogenetic tree of target species (covering 120 million years of Angiosperm evolution). Our results highlight the relevance of phylogeny on the elemental composition of plants both at early (with the development of key preadaptive traits) and recent divergence times (diversification of the Iberian gypsum flora concurrent with Iberian gypsum deposit accumulation). Despite the predominant phylogenetic effect, plant adaptation to gypsum soils had a strong impact on the elemental composition of plants, particularly on sulphur concentrations, while climate and soil effects were smaller. Accordingly, we detected a convergent evolution of gypsum specialists from different lineages on increased sulphur and magnesium foliar concentrations.
