Heavy Metal Accumulations in Some Terrestrial Endemic and Non-endemic Plants in Mine Sites (Elazığ/Turkey)

The aim of our study is to determine the hyperaccumulatory properties by examining heavy metal accumulation (Co, Ni, Fe) in endemic Anchusa leptophlla subsp. tomentosa, Alyssum pateri pateri, Glaucium acutidentatum and non Erysimum uncinatifolium species collected from a copper mining area Elazığ Maden district. All are hyperaccumulator according their Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) values Co element. According NiBCF FeBCF values, A. E. were found be hyperacumulators. Transfer (TF) value, it determined that element can transported upper organs leptophlla, species, whereas Ni Fe elements species. Among examined, CoEF for NiEF (EF>1) all higher than 1 Enrichment (EF). It said capacities higher. In study, soils samples taken sampling Geo-accumulation index (Igeo) moderately contaminated not so polluted Fe.
