Investigation of the Enrichment Coefficient for Cu, Fe, Mn and Ni Elements in Prunus armeniaca L. Plant, Hekimhan – Hasançelebi (Malatya)

Hasançelebi iron (Fe) deposit is located in Hekimhan district of Malatya province. Plants can take up the elements found in the soil they grow on and accumulate them in different organs. Such plants are effectively used in the exploration of mineral deposits and environmental pollution research. For this reason, Prunus armeniaca L. (apricot) plant (branch, leaf, fruit) and the soil samples on which this plant grew were taken from the study area and the enrichment coefficient (EC) of Cu, Fe, Mn and Ni elements were examined. The enrichment coefficient is
