| description | This paper describes the effect of mineral elements on dominant plants in the Shewushan lateritic gold deposit, China. For this purpose, 30 soil profile samples at different depths and 3 kinds of dominant plants including <i>Populus canadensis</i> (<i>Populus X canadensis Moench</i>), <i>Cinnamomun camphora</i> (<i>Cinnamomum camphora</i> (L.) <i>Presl.</i>) and Rhus chinensis (Rhus chinensis Mill.) were collected. The concentration of ore-forming elements including Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, Cu, As, Fe, and S were analyzed. Based on the investigation of two mine profiles, it can be found that Au, Pb, As, and Fe were mainly enriched in laterite layer and the brown clay layer at a depth of 5–11 m. Moreover, the biological accumulate coefficient (BAC) and the contrast coefficient (CM) were calculated to assess the sensitivity and concentrating ability of Populus canadensis and <i>Cinnamomun camphora</i>. To investigate the response of the two species to metal stress, the contents of chlorophyll, malondialdehyde (MDA), and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) were determined. The result showed that Populus canadensis and <i>Cinnamomun camphora</i> have a high tolerance to metal stress and that both of the two species can indicate the content of Au, As, Pb, and Co in topsoil. |
