Abstract
The successful use of geobotanical indicators in prospecting for boron-bearing mineral deposits is described. Three types of indicators were found to apply to three situations where boron is present in varying degrees or combinations with other chemical elements: 1) where boron content is very high, sections may be devoid of plant life or support Salsola nitraria. Pa1L and Limonium suffruticosum Ktze. ; 2) where the magnesium content of ascharites counteracts the effect of the -boron, Eurotia ceratoides C. A. M. congregations may indicate sulfate-carbonate soil salinity; and 3) where boron content is in the order of tenths of one percent, plants are oppressed, deformed or subject to plant diseases. A very low boron content, such as on old mineralized banks, on the other hand, stimulates plant growth. — A. Eustus
