Trace elements tolerance, accumulation and translocation in Cistus populifolius, Cistus salviifolius and their hybrid growing in polymetallic contaminated mine areas

► Serious contamination for As, Cu, Pb and Sb in São Domingos and Caveira mine soils ► Similar behavior of trace elements accumulation in Cistus species in same mine area ► Storage of non-essential elements and Fe in Cistus roots ► Transport of macro and micronutrients to Cistus shoots ► Non-accumulating behavior of Cistus species for trace elements except for Mn
