Abstract
Young leaves and twigs of birch (Betula alba var. pubescens and var. verrucosa) have been analyzed along a profile across a narrow pyrrhotite-pentlandite mineralization in a gabbro. The mineralization is partly outcropping, partly covered by thin Quaternary deposits. A nickel-copper anomaly is apparent in the plants, becoming still more increased after normalization with respect to Ba + Sr. Leaf samples generally have a stronger contrast than twigs. Other element normalizations seemed less useful.Keywords
