Los distintos tipos de rocas ultramáficas afectan de modo diferencial a las plantas en su acumulación de metales pesados (Alyssum serpyllifolium subsp. malacitanum en Sierra Bermeja y Sierra de Mijas, Malaga, España)

Different types of ultramafic rocks differentially affect plants in their accumulation of heavy metals (Alyssum serpyllifolium subsp. malacitanum in Sierra Bermeja and Sierra de Mijas, Malaga, Spain).

Las distintas rocas ultramáficas importan y aportan diversidad: variación en el suelo y en Alyssum serpyllifolium de metales pesados comparando entre dunitas, harzburgitas-dunitas piroxenicas , harzburgitas-lherzolitas, piroxenitas, y serpentinitas en Sierra Bermeja y Sierra de Mijas.

La diversidad mineralógica afecta a la fitobiológica, lo cual abre nuevos campos de estudio!

ABSTRACT

In the ultramafic area of Spain, a high quantity of petrographic entities is present. Data on the variability among populations of hyperaccumulation are scarce. We investigated Alyssum serpyllifolium subsp. malacitanum for variations in eleven elements among populations growing in different ultramafic massifs in different petrographic entities (dunites, harzburgite-pyroxenic dunite, harzburgite-lherzolite, pyroxenite, and serpentinites). Samples of leaves and soils were collected from the ultramafic outcrops of Sierra Bermeja and Sierra de Mijas (Andalusia, Spain). The concentrations of Ni, Fe, Mg, Si, Cr, Co, Sr, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Ba and the bioaccumulation factors (BAF) were determined. Although analysis of variance of the data for each element revealed considerable variation in soil chemistry (for Fe, Mg, Sr, and Ba) among the different petrographic entities, population-level variation with regard to the hyperaccumulation in the leaves was not detected. BAF values >1 were obtained for Sr and Ni depending on the petrographic entities. The correlation detected between the concentration of Ni in leaves and concentration in soil is relevant. The population-level variation obtained in the BAF values for Sr and Ni provides comprehensive information on the natural variation of hyperaccumulation. The BAF obtained for Ba is animportant result for phytomining.
