[...] l'excès d'un élément peut être un guide en prospection géobotanique. On peut se contenter ici de relever le site des plantes qui ne croissent qu'en un milieu possédant de hautes teneurs en un élément comme le font Viscaria alpina, Equisetum sp. et Salix sp. sur les dépôts cupro-ferreux ou encore étudier les cendres de certaines plantes.
