abstract = {The use of plant species to stabilize and accumulate trace elements in contaminated soils
is considered of great usefulness given the difficulty of decontaminating large areas subjected to
mining for long periods. In this work, the bioaccumulation of trace elements is studied by relating
the concentrations in leaves and roots of three plants of Mediterranean distribution (Dittrichia
viscosa, Cistus salviifolius, Euphorbia pithyusa subsp. cupanii) with the concentrations of trace elements
in contaminated and uncontaminated soils. Furthermore, in the case of D. viscosa, to know the
concentration of each element by biomass, the pool of trace elements was determined both in the
aerial part and in the roots. The bioaccumulation factor was not high enough in any of the species
studied to be considered as phytoextractors. However, species like the ones studied in this work that
live on soils with a wide range of concentration of trace elements and that develop a considerable
biomass could be considered for stabilization of contaminated soils. The plant species studied in this
work are good candidates for gentle-remediation options in the polluted Mediterranean.},
