The concentrations of the trace elements copper and zinc were determined in field-collected samples of three ericaceous dwarf shrubs of the genus Vaccinium. The average elemental concentrations were rather regular in the three species. The actual minor element levels of the individual samples showed, however, highly significant interspecific differences in the elemental compositions. The calculation of the discriminant factor values (i.e. the comparative element ratios for the plant samples and for their substrata) resulted in clear species-specific patterns in the element utilization. Thus, obvious selectivity was recognized in the uptake of copper and zinc by the three Vaccinium species. Of the species studied, V. myrtillus appeared to be an accumulator of copper in relation to zinc, whereas V. uliginosum showed the most efficient uptake of Zn in relation to Cu, and V. vitis-idaea showed an intermediate pattern in the minor element utilization. |
