Biogeochemical aspects of Cocus nucifera: a case study from Vemula barite region, Cuddapah district, Andhra Pradesh, India
The present study deals with the biogeochemical aspects related to coconut trees (Cocus nuci fera) occurring in the barite deposit of Vemula mining area of Cuddapah District in Andhra Pradesh. The different organs consisting of (i) roots (ii) bark (iii)) midrib of the leaf (iv) leaflets and (v) fruits were analysed for mineral elements namely Ba, Sr, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Pb. Huge amounts of Ba (5900 to 14,000ppm), Sr (850 t0 1250ppm), and small amounts of Pb, Zn, Cu and Mn have been accumulated in different organs of this plant species. Further, this study has given greater scope on the plant-soil relationship in the mining area and their significance in environmental studies. This plant species has an extraordinary ecologic amplitude and tolerance for a variety of elements.
