Abstract
IT is well known that chemical elements can be concentrated in very large factors by plant cells, that is to say, the final concentrations in the cells may exceed those in the media by many orders of magnitude. Enrichment is often observed not only for elements that are essential for the plants, but also for elements not known to be essential, and even sometimes for elements that normally do not occur to any extent in plants.
