Short summary
This research compares the heavy-metal contents in Pinus pinaster, P. sylvestris, Quercus robur, and Q. rotundifolium in contaminated Cu deposits from Italy (Libiola, Caporciano), Portugal (São Domingos), and Slovakia (Ľubietová). The bioavailability of the heavy metals is not pH controlled, but high Ca and Mg contents in soil inhibit the metal incorporation to the plants. The plants are excluders (bioconcentration factor < 1), so they are suitable only for phytostabilization.
