Batigelas is a mineral occurrence in the Alter do Chão-Elvas Sector of the Ossa-Morena Zone that was studied by the Serviço de Fomento Mineiro, including soil geochemistry and terrestrial geophysics, revealing anomalous metal contents combined with contrasting magnetic values. The results obtained justified the execution of a cored drill hole. New soil geochemistry campaign, using a portable X-ray fluorescence,...
Avaliou-se a capacidade de acumulação e translocação de As, Cu, Pb e Zn em populações de Cistus ladanifer L. que colonizam as áreas mineiras de Brancanes, São Domingos, Chança e Caveira (FPI-Portuguesa) e duas áreas controlo (Caldeirão, Pomarão).
