In order to select suitable plant species for building artificial ecosystem at the gold production area,concentration of heavy metals,including Cu,Zn and Cd,in four species of plants I.E.,Indigofera trifoliata,Kalimeris integrifolia,Arundinella anomala,Rhamnus flavescens,were determined by the flame atomic absorption spectrometry.The results showed that four plants had strong enrichment capacity of Zn.Kalimeris integrifolia had the highest Zn concentration than others.Its transfer factor was 2.90,and concentration factor was 4.48.Four plants had a strong transfer capacity of Cu and had a weak concentration capacity.However,all of four species had a low Cd concentration level.
