Provides the direct analysis of mineral cycles and their interactions with vegetation uptake ratios of elements within the system
Indicator of broad geologies of sample areas
Effectively utilising patterns within the broader distribution of species as an indicator of variability of underlying geology
Means to assess the chemical constituents of the underlying geology
As a means to identify potential mineral deposits via a relationship between metals within the structure of the plant and underlying mineral system
