Abstract :In this study, the mineral content of some plant species widely distributed around the Chromium mine area in the Sandras Mountain Gökçeova region and the physical and chemical properties of the soils were investigated. The soil samples were analyzed for its pH, CaCO3, EC, sand, organic matter and Macro- micro elements while shoots and roots were determined for its macro and micro elements. The results obtained from soil analysis showed suitable amount of CaCO3 and EC. e.g. When the nitrogen content of the soil samples was examined, it was determined that the values were close to each other. While some micro elements were discovered to be over the limit levels, there was no physical evidence that these high concentrations were altering the metabolism of the plants included in the study. This situation can be considered as a potential indicator that these plants, which are scattered in nature, are genetically tolerant.
